I Still Remember Father

I still remember when you left,
and unsuspecting me.
Thought one day he'll be back
and then cried for unknown reasons.

I still remember the last phone call
The look upon her face.
And I knew then and there
you were gone, for good, from this place.

I still remember hating you.
For bringing so much pain.
For you gave us no goodbyes.
And nothing left to gain.

I still remember fights we had
and how you ticked me off.
I hated you then, as I do now,
but the love here still remains.

I still remember hating her
for you loved her so much.
And in my mind, it was me, not her,
you gave your loving touch.

I still remember birthdays
with no signs of hello.
And I can't believe you care,
so much, you never even call.

I still remember how I cried,
waiting for a word.
I let them believe I hate you,
and keep on missing you.

So father please remember,
one day when you come back.
The ways you never treated me,
and expect to get it back.

Shelly.
