My heart aches, Dad,
For the things you won't do.
My soul breaks, Dad,
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.
This poem was a major speaker of my feelings toward my father who at this time is not present in my life. I resent him for all the emotional and physical abuse, but I often catch myself...
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.

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...
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 was deported for being caught with drugs a few months before I was born. He wasn't there for any of my firsts. He didn't see me until I was a year old and we moved to Mexico. I grew up...
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 wish I had a normal father just like my friends. A loving and caring support. Dad, you've done so much damage to me. It might not be visible to you since the scars you left are internal,...
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....

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...
