Poems of a Broken Soul

Daddy's Infidelity

It happened six years ago
Though it seems like yesterday
I remember it clearly
It was a cold autumn day
You told me you loved me
Then left through the door
3 bags and a suitcase was all you carried
As you got in your car and drove more and more
Wet tears ran down my cheek
As I heard your last car beep
I knew the fun times and the games were over
No more kisses at night no more bear hugs when I'm sober
No more laughing in front of a warm blazing fire
No none of that because you're a cold hearted liar
For 5 years you only cheated and swore
You weren't the daddy figure I would adore
You never tried your best to be a good dad
But somehow at the end of the day I would end up being more sad.
When I was younger it was easier
I was put into a your arms and you held me tight
You would never let go if I were scared at night
But all those moments are just pale memories
Because of you I was left on the bottom of a hole
I had to find my own way out.
It wasn't easy but I survived
Because my mom and my friends were by my side
I have just one more thing to say
As you live with your new wife, just remember
You gave an 8-year-old girl hell
And it doesn't matter what you feel or did
She is still haunted by you since she was a kid.
