Dad

you said you would never hurt us in anyway.

you said i was your princess

you promised nothing would happen between you and mom.

you swore on your life that you only loved us

you promised you would show up

so why am i sitting here hurt and depressed and wishing i wasn’t your daughter

then how come you never showed up to anything

how come you hardly spent time with me

then how come i’m glad that somebody else is actually a dad figure to me

how come i haven’t gotten the nerve to call, talk, or see you again

how come i was afraid to come home fridays or was afraid when you came home.
