Why do you lie to me? <br />You get my hopes up so high. <br />Why don't you just tell me? <br />But instead you make me cry. <br />Do you even care about me? <br />You never even call. <br />What if I died tomorrow? <br />Would you care at all? <br />You hardly even know me. <br />Do you remember my birthday? <br />It really hurts me inside, <br />Because I think about it every day <br />What if I called tomorrow? <br />And I wanted to move in? <br />Would you say okay? <br />Or would you lie again? <br />At night before I close my eyes, <br />A tear rolls down my cheek, <br />Because I think of the lies you told, <br />Throughout this passing week <br />Mum's always telling me <br />Not to cry, and it'll be okay. <br />I just want to know, <br />Why do you treat me this way? <br />I feel a part of me died <br />Every single time you lied <br />I wish I knew what you were thinking <br />Even though my heart is sinking <br />Dad, you have a son now? <br />Why didn't you tell me? <br />He's eight now, <br />is this the reason you didn't call me? <br />Really, I don’t understand what’s going on <br />Are these the lies I should depend upon <br />Is he the reason I haven’t seen you in eleven years <br />Or was it not him, was it all the beers <br />I still don’t understand why you stayed away <br />But I’m telling you this now I am not here to play <br />You think my mind is a playground <br />Well here we go, Because this is my rebound.<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-lied-3/
