How are you Daddy?
It's been forever since we've spoken.
I guess we let this whole time pass,
And now we're completely broken.
Do you miss me the way I wish you would?
I can't imagine you do.
You've never sent cards or letters,
Even though I'm missing you.
My past attempts seem to mean nothing,
It's nice to know you care.
And even though you don't know how,
I've always wished you were there.
So, how are you daddy?
It's been a while.
I miss your laugh
And I've forgotten your smile.
I'm not even gonna ask,
If you've ever missed me.
Through the unanswered phone calls and the time that's passed
The answers I can see.
It's funny how fast the time goes,
But six years have come and gone.
Maybe you thought I didn't need you,
But you were oh so wrong.
How are you daddy?
I hope you're doing well.
I'm learning how to deal with the pain,
I think you can probably tell.
Don't ever try to make things right,
They'll never be the same.
In fact if it makes you feel any better,
You can just forget my name.
To you I doubt I even exist,
I don't have a place in your world.
I hope you're doing well daddy,
Love, your little girl.
Daddy, You Can Just Forget My Name

My father left when I was 5 I am now 13. He does not seem to care all of the pain he caused and this poem almost exactly describes my story. This was very touching and beautiful.
