How do you get passed the hurt of an absent parent?
There use to be a time when I was confused.
The confusion led to misunderstanding, and
The misunderstandings led to frustration, and
The frustration led to anger, and
The anger just built up until there was no room left for anything but hurt.
I cried for days not knowing what could be done.
It was as if an emotional knife had been shoved through my body.
Like I was posioned by longing.
The pain was endless, and the thoughts were nagging.
There were times when i could think of you and smile knowing that your stupidity wasn't your fault.
But sure enough, for every pleasant thought there were 3 unpleasant ones.
To say you never loved me would be a stretch,
but to say you never cared would fit just fine.
I will love you forever only because you are daddy.
At the same time...I will forget you because the pain is harder to get rid of.
It is much easier to get rid of someone who never wanted to be there in the first place.
So...Good-Bye
