Hey daddy,
How're you today?
I'm rather curious,
Do you not come back,
For fear of what I'll say?
If that is the case,
You don't have to worry.
Because I won't shout,
I can speak softly.
I just want an explanation,
To stop the 'Why's' circling inside.
Or do you not come back,
For lack of a fatherly mindset?
Was I the mistake,
My mother is always saying?
I just want to talk reasonably.
I want to know your side.
All I've ever been told,
Is just a bunch of lies.
And what about your son?
Do you not hurt inside,
Knowing he was a brave man,
Who had to end his life?
Because when he came back from that war,
He couldnt bare the memories.
He blamed himself,
For all the endless killings.
But I blame you,
Because you were the one,
Who forced him into it.
You said he had to prove himself
Before he'd ever be a son to you.
Now if you read this,
And you can't tell.
How much I hurt,
Well I've been through hell.
You are never here,
And I want to know why?
I pray you read this,
Because I beg from you a reply.
