Leaving others to take your place, <br />Even though I’m walking around with your face, <br />Knowing that you left us behind, <br />Wondering what's on father’s mind. <br />He didn't even think to try. <br />To leave my mother with tears going down her face, <br />Left me the only one to give her embrace, <br />Only for me to ask her why? <br />My mother can give me answers; <br />My father left behind. <br />For he can give his love to another, <br />But can't give his love to me, <br />My mother would give her life, <br />But he’s rather have another wife <br />He can take it and make a life and keep living, <br />But what is it like to live without a father, <br />He doesn't even know, <br />Because he doesn't even care, <br />He left me alone <br />I could be adopted <br />I could be dead <br />He wouldn’t know the difference <br />Even though he does he said <br />You have three kids but not a forth <br />Because I have a chance to advance north <br />Now is my turn to give up on you <br />Because your eyes and soul are totally see through <br />I see what you wanted <br />But will I ever really know <br />I was a feather <br />And would fall with one blow <br />But now I’m out of your trap <br />And can get away <br />I’m done with all your crap.<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-ex-farther/
