Array ( [sid] => 6097 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Dad [time] => 2002-11-02 17:45:00 [hometext] => Wrote this 5 years ago, having a father who was never there and constantly lied is always hard...... [bodytext] => Where were you when I needed your hand?
Why did you leave me alone?
Was I supposed to understand?
Why you didn’t is still unknown
Where were you when I called your name?
Or when I needed a hug?
Was it me you had to blame?
Your false promises were like a drug
Where were you when mom wasn't around?
Didn’t you care where I was?
What would you do if you knew I drowned?
Your actions were too many flaws
Why didn’t you care when I found you?
How come you told me more lies?
Didn’t you tell me you wanted to?
Your excuse wasn’t worth a goodbye

Hello again rockshv,

Your pain is so frighteningly tangible.
But coming through I feel such a strength of spirit.
You certaily have been damaged but hopefully not broken.
Warmest regards,
Fwog

Ouch. I don't know what you went through, because every situation is different. But mine was similar, except it was my mother. I'm glad that you got through it, and it's a lovely poem that you wrote because of it.
