Years Ago Poem by jennie o'brien

My dad, he left us years ago,
Back when I was only six.
Now he wants to see me,
But I say 'no' -
I can still remember all those years ago.

I think that everyone has forgotten,
About the pain he put us through.
But i can still remember -
Yes - i can still remember,
I have not forgotten -
About the pain he put me through.

When I even think about it,
It nearly makes me cry.
i used to need him so badly.
But he walked away and left me -
He didn't care a bit.

People try to tell me,
How totally wrong I am
To hate, dislike and detest him.
But it's because I can't forget
The time when he left us, -
I was six and my sister only three.
