[hometext] => I wrote this poem to my dad. Most may not understand but those who have been there will understand where I am coming from. Enjoy!!!!
[bodytext] => By the time I was four
I knew that everytime mom closed the door You were always there to knock me to the floor You never said you loved me unless mom was near The dark didn't scare me like most kids, you were my true fear The longest and worst nights were when you consumed beer In my little mind you imbedded fears so deep Many years after you left our home I still cried myself to sleep You always made me feel like I had to earn my keep You moved out when I was six Leaving me to feel all guys were dicks That all guys abused chicks for kicks But still I loved you I still yearned for my dad I felt I couldn’t do right by you like I was bad I still wanted my dad that I never had I yearned to have someone be my superhero I wanted you to be my masked Zorro In my mind I never made you the villain but the hero When I was eight Barb was who started to date I wanted pain to lie in your fate I didn’t understand why my friends’ dads cared Even on television the dads cared But to care you never dared We cried every summer that we had to go see you You wouldn’t believe us about what Barb would do She had you blind, you had no clue She played you for the fool you are You turned back to drinking and spent hours at the bar Everyone knew you there, you were like a star At age 16 you wanted me back My family and you moved back To the small town it all started at But we won't be close cause you striked out more then 3 times at bat [comments] => 2 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Daydreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
