Hurting Poem by Teens

I'm 13 years old. I can only dream that my dad would come back. He was nothing but a lie. He might have loved me at one point, but now why am I alone? My life is poetry.

You said you loved me
So why do I feel hated

You said you cared for me

You said I can do anything
So why has everything failed

You said you would never let me go
So why am I falling

You said to never give up
But I'm long past that

The last thing you ever said was I love you
and I won't stop till I die

I thought you said you loved me
That's what I get for trusting Mr. Lie
