Some father-child relationships are strained or tense. Wounds exist that create frustration, anger, and distance.
I'm sorry you missed the day I came home.
I'm sorry you left my Mum all alone.
I'm sorry you missed the first time I walked.
And I'm sorry you missed the first time I talked.
My dad left the house when I was 5 years old and he told me that he would never be coming back. I remember he told me to go to back to bed. When I woke up in the morning he was gone. I felt...
You broke my trust for you
Just as you broke your promises
You broke my love for you
Just as you can break a twig...
I can relate. My Dad is an alcoholic and he has crushed my heart. He has broken me beyond repair.

My heart aches, Dad,
For the things you won't do.

For all that we've been through.

Hey Daddy,
There are a couple of things I think you missed
So write this down, make a little list.

Daddy left when I was one year old.
He needed to work some things out, or that's what I was told.
He came and left a few times,
Always the same excuses and lies.
where were you when I was all alone
why weren't you here after I begged you to come home
how could you leave me here by myself, you were all I had
I had enough people to hurt me...
I don't see you, Daddy. Why do you hurt me so much? I'm always sad. Why, Daddy, why? My heart hurts.
in Father Poems
As I peered into the eyes of the man I knew to be my dad,
I saw nothing.
No honor, no strength,
No humanity, no compassion.
That same thing happen to me but my parnets were never married. My Dad did the same thing
in Father Poems
Dad,
Why won't you listen to me?
Please hear my silent plea you so often ignore.
Why can't you see my pain?

It seems like only yesterday
You wiped away my tears
As I called your name
To fight away my fears.
Dear Father,
On this day I have nothing to look back at and reminisce. My memories of you are few. I can count on my fingers the times I have seen you, less than that the times we have...
How long has it been since you wrapped me
in those strong and tough arms of yours?
How long are you gonna wait
to tell me that you are proud of me?...
Thank you for writing this. When my dad first left I thought no one would understand how I feel about my dad he was my hero when I was young now he is gone and it feels like he doesn't love...
Photographs of you holding me in your arms,
You protected me from any kind of harm,
You influenced me to play guitar,
I was always your number one rock star....

My only regret is tomorrow,
for the past is full of sorrow.
I don't know how, or why, or even when,
but it probably occurred to me when you turned ten.
in Father Poems
I wonder what it's like
to not put up a fight
with someone you're supposed to love so dearly
and get some sleep at night.
I can really understand this poem I'm 14 and everytime me and my dad talked we would end up yelling at each other and the conversation would end with him hitting me or kicking me to the...

Does my daddy love me when he doesn't talk to me?
Does my daddy love me when he doesn't spend time with me?
Does my daddy love me when he doesn't make me feel special?
Does my daddy love me when he doesn't call me see how I'm doing?
My Dad sometimes doesn't seem to even care about me. He hasn't chosen to be in my life or my brother and sisters lives for many years. When he was he hurt my brother and made fun of my...
We trusted you with all our hearts,
Just to find that you didn't care.
No more lies, no more cries.
It's all over; there's no more time.
For years I felt I wasn't good enough for you, you only made me cry. Why were you always angry at me dad? All I did was try. I wanted to make you proud with the things I accomplished but...
I saw you once when I was two.
I remember it so vividly, as if the memory was new.
It would have meant so much to me
if you would have come around.
Dear Writer,
It's very touchy as I am a father forcefully separated from a loving daughter almost one and a half year ago when my child was about 2 and a half. I am not able to forget her...

You gave me life and
Watched me come into this world,
Saw me grow up,
Saw me fall.
in Father Poems
Looking back to when you use to be the #1 Daddy,
you would give me piggyback rides,
give me candy whenever mommy wasn't looking,
read me stories before tucking me into bed,
in Father Poems
If only you were there to stand by me,
to be there when I cry,
to see me when I leave.
If only you were there to be right by my side,
