You Weren't There

At first I used to wonder, where you were in life

was this all a nightmare? while I'm sleeping through the night

I used to cry out raindrops, thunderous screams, "it's not fair!"

why did you abandon me, when I needed someone "you weren't there"

guess you're not father material and never had a good response ability

like every other low life out there, you fail to take responsibility

but I can shrug my shoulders now, just can't believe I shed those tears

for someone who didn't deserve it, and never took away my fears

you weren't there to tuck me in; you weren't there to be my friend

but it's okay, I have a Beautiful Mother to stick with me till the end

like a lie detector test, I quickly discovered the truth

it's too late for us Dad, just know I'm more of a man than you

 

when I started to learn and eventually spoke my first word, "you weren't there"

as I discovered my passion for soccer my soul and scored my first goal, "you weren't there"

my first day of school came, soon Principal's Honor Roll called my name, "you weren't there"

when I needed someone to heal my scratch or someone to play catch, "you weren't there"

when I was lost then I was found and I discovered the wonder 0f sound, "you weren't there"

when I first questioned the man above and I demanded answers about love, "you weren't there"

when father's day came and every year like a dumbass I stood in the rain, "you weren't there"

finally, when Mom almost died and I looked up to the skies, "you weren't there"

 

yet here I am surviving, thanks to all of those I've met

I even thank God for the challenge, knowing one day you'll regret

not being here for me, cuz back you never came

the only thing we have in common is sharing a last name

my heart still breaks in pieces, at the disappointing sound of your name

I'm glad God loves you Dad, but i just can't say the same.

 

vibe0ne.

Wow this is very emotional, and i liked it. You love the little repetition thing don't cha? lol. You use it well though, it doesn't get annoying.
