I Still Love My Father Poem by Lareesa King

What did we do to you?
Your daughters
You left your own blood for HER and HER children.
When I was younger I was oblivious
In my eyes you could do no wrong
You were my daddy
I asked for the truth, but deep down I wanted a lie
It didn’t matter anyway
You act as if you don’t even know the truth
You lie like we’re strangers
Now you wonder why I hold a grudge
You wonder why I look at you differently
Don’t get me wrong
I still love you
And one day I’ll forgive you
No doubt I’d die for you
And I’ll kill anything for you
But you’re wrong
You may be my daddy
But you’ve never been my father
You know HER kids better than you know us
Maybe
One day
You’ll ask for forgiveness
And
Maybe
One day
You will
