Does he know he's missing the show? Is he out there makin' that dough just so he can go down to the liquor sto' and forget? Forget he has a graduating daughter to which he fathered? But he won't bother Does he even remember my birthday? In is his mind is it okay to miss such a day? To think I'll be better off and in the long run...okay? If he remembers my birthday the he remembers me, and in doing so he forgets me If he knows I'm eighteen then he knows I'm graduating He puts me in the back of his mind and maybe thinks that I'll find more happiness if to him I am blind All I know is...looking at all the happy faces searching for his face my mind races But soon I'll put it to rest and end such chases And end my unceasing unhappiness [comments] => 1 [counter] => 280 [topic] => 75 [informant] => rogue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )
