Why

by Tom   Jan 21, 2007


Why weren't you there for me when I needed you.
Why did you beat me sometimes leaving me black and blue.

Why did you hate me so much what did I do.
Why were you always yelling wasn't I a good enough son for you.

Why didn't you play catch with me or teach me how to drive.
Why didn't you ever hug me or sing me to sleep at night.

Why didn't you ever say I love you or come and tuck me in.
Why didn't you care about me what you did had to be a sin.

Why weren't you there for me for now I am so sad.
Why could you not just do one thing and be a loving dad.
