Why, Father?

Why, Father?
I don't know how you walked away

With pride like that.

I don't know how you threw

me away like a crumpled piece of paper.

You promised you'd come back.

You Promised!

Why, Father?
After a minute you said that,

I knew it wasn't true.

Seeing the man you really were.

It had been nine years,

Since I've seen your face

And heard your "I love you"s.

Why, Father?
I guess I'm not worth anything to you.

You abandoned me and ran to the other side.

You took advantage of my life and my feelings.

You laughed at me while I suffered.

Why, Father?
I tried to confront you,

And you hid yourself from me.

I don't know you anymore.

Why...why, father?
