Hello father,
remember me?
It's been a long long time.
We hardly talk anymore.
I guess your to busy with your new life.
I haven't visited you for a while.
The Texas humid breeze felt nice on a cool day.
last time i visited i couldn't resist stopping and smelling the bluebells.
They were so delicate and small,
they are kind of like my heart.
I still think about the good times,
before you went away.
Going to creeks to listen to the trickling water,
and having our long conversations.
I still miss those days,
but i guess you don't.
December 21st is in the air.
Yet your still not here.
I guess i should have known by now.
It's been four years and still no show.
Not much of a surprise to me.
Yet still,
every year about a week before this day.
I pray and pray for a glimpse of hope.
That you might show up by surprise.
Just like you did six years ago.
I was truly the happiest girl alive.
For the past few years,
its been the same excuse
work...work...and more work.
We both know its all lies.
Your boss wouldn't make you work around Christmas time.
I'd like for you to finally admit,
that its been her
all along.
Telling you to stay for the holidays,
even when she knew my birthday was just a few days away.
I guess you finally decided were you wanted to stay.
On the night of my 14th year,
i remember feeling sadness in my heart,
the tears seemed to burn on my cheeks as they rolled down.
my eyes were swollen and bloodshot.
Oh how i wished you were there.
To comfort me
just like you should,
but instead you were in your new home,
with her.
Forgetting about your past.
and the daughter you once loved.
-Janette S.
