Father - 6/27/02

why is it so hard
for me to let go
what is the reason
i need to know
32 years
and the struggle goes on

your lack of love
weighs heavily on my heart
i wish i had known
from the start
why did you choose me
if you had no intention 
of being the father 
you should be

you have wasted my time
almost destroyed my spirit
but I'll have you know
i no longer fear it
i don't fear a life without you
these shackles i've broken through

I hope each and every day
that i learn from the mistakes you have made
because of you I will never forget
to remind my kids
that unconditional love 
is something they will always get

i will never forsake them
as you have me
your life will remain empty
while i break free
maybe just maybe
one day you will see
