Just a memory on a shelfA Poem by Terri PhelpsMy dad wasn't there for me
Where were you dad
You make me so mad Maybe it's because I love you That I didn't take a clue You never seem to care To me that isn't fair You were suppose to be my hero And turned out worse then a zero Your suppose to wipe away all of my tears And tell me that I shouldn't have any fears To be a daughter who isn't complete I feel like I'm in defeat What did I do wrong That makes you want to stay away for so long I just want your love But you gave me a shove Just enough to realize That everyone you love lie I know that missing piece inside Will be the reason why I cried But I'm done wasting my time For someone who wouldnt spend a dime So if you ever get a chance to read this And you finally realize all those times you miss Just remember I did this by myself And your nothing more then a memory on a shelf © 2017 Terri Phelps |
