Fatherless Child Poem by Dev Robinson

Fatherless Child

Rating: 5.0


The seasons change and the time goes by
Father did you hear me calling for you?
Oh I cried a river for you...for many many years
It's almost as if you didnt hear
You would call... then sometimes not at all for eternity
I admired you even though you were out doing the unthinkable
Oh father what were you doing?
Where were you when I needed you?
I depended on you the most
You werent there like a ghost; you haunted me
Emptiness is what I remember
You were in and out
The pain is so unbearable
Time we lost will never be returned
Those memories burn deep in my brain
This chapter will remain Forever unclosed

A chapter unclosed is like a life's chapter left open as incomplete and empty. Great writing. God bless us all-MJG.

This is very upsetting, and can make you seem like theirs a whole just erupting your chest. I hope someone or something replaces the emptiness. Best wishes Sara

Mos def can relate to this one. I loved 'you weren't there like a ghost; you haunted me' That image stuck out the most in my head reading the poem. very emotional.
