So close yet so far away…
How I wish to hear my father say how sorry he was for not
being there when I needed him. Or just be there period.
So close yet so far away… He sits on the couch but never speaks
watching television intently. Drowning the cares of this world… he sits.
He sits there. My sisters and I runs up to him and say,”Daddy, daddy… will
take us fishing… will you just spend some time with us.” We jerk his hand as if to
say come on daddy, play a card game with us. Don’t ignore us. Be our father…. not
try to be a lover. A father… is someone who guides you to do right. A father is someone
who wants to spend time with us.
In your mind… being a father is all twisted, disturbing, behavior…. making do things we as little girls should not be doing… You have a sick mind. A sick mind makes ones heart sick.
I do love you daddy. Deep in my heart of hearts, there is still love for you… the kind of love a daughter should have.
I hope you get well! I release my grudges against you. I forgive you for the wrong you have done to us… to me… for the pain you have caused in my life. I hope one day, we can have a father and daughter relationship.
