You were taken from me, as I sit and I thought
Life’s lessons by you have never been taught
6 months I was when he took you from me
Took away your life when you were just 18
How could he do it with me in your arms?
The Mother of his child, how could he harm?
My Grandmother told me you were leaving him and taking me too
This is the reason why he took your life away from you
The first time I saw him my mind went numb
I asked the “question” he told a lie
Said it was an accident the way that you died
He’s my Father although I don’t consider him such
Feelings for him have never been much
Outside of hurt anger and confusion
I can’t accept him and definitely can’t call him Dad
Every thought of him inside makes me mad
I’m older now and they say forgive and forget
I’m still not in a place where I can do that yet
If he can bring you back and make my life whole
Give you back the life that he stole
Then I’ll forgive him and speak to him too
This won’t happen so I have to live without you
I go through each day hoping your looking after your Grandchild and me
Hoping you’re proud of us and guiding our destinies
We will love you always Mother
In our hearts you will always be
