But the truth is…
YOU choose to leave.
You moved on,
But I never did.
You have a new family,
And all I have is the memory.
The memory of you,
Faded like a distant dream.
Kind of like how water flows down a stream,
Floating further and further away.
But the truth is…
YOU promised to stay.
You said it while we stood and watched,
Her body lay.
Was it all just another lie?
The second it was over,
You left.
Never looking back,
I wept.
But the truth is…
YOU were my dad,
All I thought I had.
Who knew you would be my first,
First heartbreak.
But the truth remains…
I never did know you.
YOU never cared to know me,
That’s the difference.
I tried,
I cried.
