My Absent Father

by KELLY EDWARDS   Aug 27, 2007


Wondering and filled with curiosity,
tears of loss I simply cannot deny.
I don't understand the way things are,
and I crave closure as to why.

Why did my Father disappear?
Did he really not want me that much?
I wonder what it would be like,
to have his hand to hold and touch.

Is it warm and loving?
Or is it heartless and cold?
Will I ever find him,
as I begin to grow old?

A part of me is missing,
the part that belongs to him.
I would like him to love me one day,
and complete this missing limb.

So if someday you should return,
I hope you read this poem.
And answer my burning question,
Why did you leave me alone?

    Amazing poem. Very deep and heartfelt. I can relate my father isnt really a part of my life as a matter of fact I'm sure that he could really care less weather I'm alive or dead. But great poem and I hope to see more great work from you. 5/5.

    Wonderful poem ,sad and very heartfelt write, I can relate I lost both mom and dad at age 5, so I know it's hard to understand and sometimes , its really best to just try to move on with your life, but then again it's very hard to do that , as I myself still ask those questions with no hope of ever finding an answer, thanks for sharing, your friend Tracy d 5/5
