How Come Poem by Stephanie Dunne

Father
How come when someone called you
You were right beside them to listen
But when i called you
You weren't there? ? ?

How come when someone cried
You were their shoulder to cry on
But when i cried
You lifted your fist and put me right back into place? ? ?

How come when someone needed you
You were holding them tight
But when i needed you
You just turned your back and ran? ? ?

Father I have so many unanswered question
Now maybe it's time to listen
The big question is about to come
So please hold on tight

How come when someone's wrist were bleeding
With a razor blade right beside them
You would snuggle up and cuddle them
And let them know that everything is going to be alright
But when this happened to me
you would leave bruises on every part of my body? ? ?

Now father please i need to know
Please let my mind rest
I need you now more than anything
So can you come and hold me tight? ? ?
