They took my father.

There's a knocking at the door.
I answer it just to find out the worse:

A police officer is standing there,
to give me news I can hardly bare.

"you're father has been arrested," was the answer to my question.
"why?" was a question I didn't have to mention

As I'm writing this poems my dads sitting in a jail cell.
when I go see him he says everything soon will be well.

But he just says that to stop the tears
and chase away all my fears.

For we don't know when will be together once more.
But i know one day we will, for he swore!

Ever since he's been away I feel so alone and cold
I just need someone for me to hold.

I miss the way he'll protect me from anything
the way he'll bring happiness to our family.

He's sitting right in front of me yet he feels so far away
I wish he would come out soon but there's nothing I can do but prey.

A simple glass window separates us
The fact that I can't hear his voice besides using a phone brings me disgust

I hurts not being able to give him hugs
And all because he had to go and sell drugs

I cannot wait for him to be free
so a complete family we can once again be.
