Daddy

By Sex Slave

You've been gone all my life

I've seen you only twice

I can't even remember your face

Where were you when I said my first word?

Why weren't you there to see me walk?

As I grew into a woman, why weren't you there?

You never got a chance to learn who I was

You say your sorry and that things will change

But they never do

So Daddy I'm sorry but I don't want to know you

    Sweetheart, dad's like yours and mine are all the same, however, we know something they don't...we know what NOT to do, and we also know what much their missing out by knowing us...Keep your chin up, girl*hugs* Scholar

    I know the feeling well, although even fatherless, I don't feel that i've been affected by it. My father however, did see my first step, first word and watched my first tooth come in... Not that I can remember that though. Great write ~*~Tart~*~
