Array ( [sid] => 51580 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => 15 Minutes Once A year [time] => 2004-06-12 15:36:18 [hometext] => What happens when ur real dad shows up after 15 years of not seeing him?&he says he wants to get to know u? but he only hangs around 4/ 15 minutes [bodytext] => Give me this Dance,
& give me the chance
Listen to my voice,
& you make the choice.
Don’t sit to doubt,
& just hear me out.
Grudges in me don’t last,
So I’ll 4get about the past.
Brought up to take my own direction,
I never needed your protection.
Something inside me tells me you care,
When you look in my eyes & you stare.
You’ll never know what it’s like to feel bare
How do I make you understand,
That I no longer need your hand.
I want to know where you’ve been,
What you’ve seen,
Why you left,
Why promises weren’t kept,
Why my dreams were swept.
Lost years,
Won’t be made up with two fake tears.
I ask myself why,
I want to give you a try.
My will is slowly dying,
When I see that you’re not even trying.
While my heart lies on the floor
Everything I’m looking for,
Just walks out the door,
& leaves me feeling poor.
But this is me,
This is who I turned out to be.
I spill my thoughts through this pen,
Is this something you can comprehend?
But please don’t put thoughts in my head,
I’ll make things easy for you and turn away instead.
Your excuses sound lame,
Have you 4gotten my name?
Don’t take the blame.
I’ll forget,
So don’t you regret
You’ve already forgotten the day I was born,
But that’s alright I’m not easily torn.
I don’t have to cry,
Hey I gave it a try,
& tears won’t help me get by.

While my heart lies on the floor
Everything I’m looking for,
Just walks out the door,
& leaves me feeling poor.-- nice lines, I feel them deep. Its a tough situation your going through, I wish I had words to offer. I would try to be accepting and take your time, undertstanding it may be just as tough for him.... great poem! A++++

Avila,
As I read this it brought tears to my eyes, please give your father a chance, even if it was a short time he spent with you cherish it, life is so short, this was beautifully written but I see a lot of heart-ache, take care Val
