Dad and his wife
living so far away,
visited my state
for the second time
this year.
No call on the phone
to say hi or goodbye.
No effort do they make
to see us or our new home.
My husband and I,
worked so hard to build.
With our two hands,
creating and molding,
with blood, sweat and tears.
Wanting my dads recognition
and accomplishment well over due.
But only to go back home
no appearance they make.
Leaving with out a thought,
of his eldest daughters heart.
Once again my heart aches,
knowing my dad doesn't care.
Doesn't he know that I love him.
Crying inside for his approval.
Wanting his arms around me,
saying he loves me.
So sitting here writing,
trying to console my inner self.
Tears welling up inside,
ready to spill over.
Only to cause havoc
on my keyboard.
Aimlessly trying to hold back,
hoping it will evaporate,
causing a mist in my mind,
melting the hardness in my throat.
Bandaging an overwhelmed heart.
Praying it shall hold and heal,
before the next heart break.
I love you dad.......
