One day you were gone,
And I was left alone and cold,
Shaken and scared-
Never again to see your face,
Never again to hear your voice.
It never crossed my mind
To
reconcile all we'd lost-
My anger, pain, and selfishness
Kept me from doing what was right.
I tried so hard
to push you away,
To keep you on the outside
I never realized that you were the one thing
I needed most-
A father
figure; a loving dad.
So I guess this is my punishment;
This wretched feeling swelling in the pit of my stomach.
Because now you're gone-
You left without notice,
Before I could explain my thoughts and cold words.
You
left before I could make things right,
Before I could say goodbye-
You left before I could say
I love you.
