He told me once
He was there
Promised he would never again leave
No matter what anyone said
But one day I turned around
Hoping he had at last kept his word
Only to find he had once again run off
So now here I sit
Talking to the wind

He told me once
He needed me
More than anyone else
I was his baby girl after all
Nobody was going to change that
We would finally be together
Soon
Very soon
He would say
With teary eyes and a racing heart
I reached out my hands
Longing to feel my fathers embrace
For the very first time
But as I got closer
Calling out to him
He slowly turned away
As if there were something to fear
Now here I sit
Praying that one day
My imaginary father
The one who claimed to love me so much
Might re-appear

wow

I know...i think alot of us can relate to that one.

so true.

i thought it was a bit lame but i wanted to see what others thought

thats a awsome poem

ty queene

my my that touched me cause my step dad killed himself /and my 2 teen daughters found him!but it was good keep it up u have talent. i write as well.

aww thats sad im sorry

thats okay i believe everything happens and its a lesson, but i do call out to him and i know he is with me i always smell coffee and cigerettes! thats all he lived on!

this was written about my biological father i finally got in contact with him after 20 years but i guess he didnt want me because it all stopped

hun that his lost and one day he will realize it. i know its hard to grow up with out a biological father. i been there my self. but i did have a man who married my mom and to me is all the dad i want. he has been there for me i cant even say how many times. i just hope one day that i am that man that he is.
and ur peom was not lame. it touched me as well

well i can relate i was twenty three married with my first born found hjm by a weird way hung out met some of that side of the family then i just stoped talking ,akk he did was put me down how my mom didnt push me away from the table! my mother told the hospital not to let him see me ,that was messed up she also hurt me to she actually said it was amistake to have sex with him so i feel she didnt want me,and now she dont talk to me that much she is a nut case i am sorry god forgive me i have done everything to make amends to them but they always said i was running from the family and that wasnt true either,i use to get beat by my step dad and at 38 yrs old i finally can forgive him, but its hard to forgive my mom but i still respect her but she chose to let another man be her flesh and blood! i am sorry i need to talk to some one nut i hold it back and stay to my self! but i do pray for peace with everyone!

after getting beat up by your step dad or anyone. why on earth would you forgive him.. they would be no way i would forgive a jackass if he treated me that way, and if my wouldnt stand in the way then she isent worth it either..

but in my case i have a close family and my mom was with a man that she loved but he couldnt accept his own kids nor us so she walked out and told him we were there first.

your right but i guess i feel guilty and dont want to be a bad person and and die knowing i hated them, and she always said i was the sick one i need counseling not i really honestly no it was her who picked fightsd with me before school,and now its pissing her off cause i am on my own suceeding!i cant stand my family they are all crazy!

yea cajun i know its his loss but its hard because he decided he didnt want me around after he found out what else my disability included he freaked out so ugh i dunno its hard
