GoodbyeA Poem by ChrisWith every passing day,
I question why you didn't stay,
down here with the rest of us.
Is it all the days we missed the bus?
Is it because we never tried?
Because we always gave up and cried?
How were we supposed to know?
Days passed and you were a no-show.
We stood there waiting for you to appear,
through the rain, the dark, and all the fear.
I had to grow up way too fast,
my childhood dreams didn't last.
What ever happened to I'll always be there?
What ever happened to life is always fair?
I thought you said you'd take my hand,
so life's mysteries I'd understand.
But no you went and left me all alone.
Why didn't you ever pick up the phone?
I called you every chance I was given.
I even visited you while you were in prison.
If you were my father,
then why was I such a bother?
So many things I wished to tell you,
but the times we had to talk were so few.
Well now I know what happened
But now I know the truth,
I had to become a sleuth,
to find the reason behind your disappearance.
Despite everyones constance interference,
I discovered where you went.
To heaven you were sent.
I suppose I always knew,
I just didn't want it to be true.
