(johnny isn’t my dad’s name
it’s his)
i miss my father johnny
i wonder why i left him
i wonder if he misses me
i was just a little kid
i miss my mother nancy
i wonder why she left me
i wonder if she cares
that she’s the reason why i hid
why do women do this
to little kids
all that I did
to try to undo it
all of my pain
and all their excuses
we were just kids but
we were not clueless
someone who loves you
would not just do this
all of my past,
i tried to erase it
but now I see,
how could I change it?
might share a face
and share a last name,
but we
are not
the same.
i miss my dad
i do to, for you.
