Each and every night I'd pray
One of these days he'd come back
And actually want to stay
Everything he's ever missed
Would finally be too much to ignore
When he told me he loved me
Missed me...
It would be the God-honest truth
This time I thought
Things will be different
Everyone would see
He can be a father
A good one at that
Running is a thing of the past
A fathers' love is unconditional right?
So why then am I wishing
Hoping with every bit of strength
Things will work this time?
A waterfall of tears
Has been my only company tonight
Except for that empty rejected feeling
I grew up knowing so well
Daddy's little reject
Isn't so little anymore
She's wise to the truth
But sadly not immune from the pain
I won't try again
He's made it clear
There is no room for me
Never has been
Never will be
I'll just splatter my heart upon this page
Cry it out for a night or two
Maybe three
Then lose myself in the truly beautiful treasures
Life has allowed me to call my own

good write, let it go and try to move on...hugs
