• Ten years ago,
    you left me sitting in the front yard.
    I was crying out my eyes.
    Mom was screaming in your ear.
    You pushed her away as you climbed into the car
    I didn't understand why you would.
    I didn't know why you chose to go.
    I didn't want you to leave. No.
    You didn't even say goodbye.
    You didn't even say that you loved me.
    Now I have a Half sister and a step brother, too.
    My step dad doesn't love me like you did.
    He beats up on my mom eveyday.
    We are afraid to leave because he said,
    "I will hunt you down and kill you, both if you leave."
    So this is why yesterday,
    they came and found you.
    Mom was dead in the hospital and my Half sis was, too.
    You took me into your arms and said,
    "I am so sorry I wasn't there for you. I love you. I am so sorry."
    I looked up into his eyes and said,
    " Im sorry,too."
