Not My Fault Poem by Kailee Falvo

I don't have very many
Memories of you,
Or even who you are.
But that's not my fault,
Is it?
I wasn't the one who walked out
On a family who cared about me,
Or on my loving wife and those two
Blessing which are my children.
No, I wasn't the one.
You walked out, not fully
Closing the door behind us,
And now all I see is your back,
Which you've turned on my family.
When people bring up your name
I sit, starring of into space
Praying ill remember another time
I spent with you,
But I can't.
I've screamed and cried because
No one will let me talk to you.
But I'm old enough now.
Old enough to be angry and sad
And for my painful questions
To be answered.
You weren't just my uncle,
You were given a job;
A job to protect me and lead me
Throughout my life,
Yet you decided to leave me
To not have that person.
I don't know what else to write
I can't say I love you,
Especially knowing you most
Likely never loved me.
But I wasn't the one
Who walked out on my family
And leaving their tears to fall
Into the emptiness and pain you left behind.
