Love For A Lost Father Poem by eryn najera

love is just a word with a lot of meaning
you can say it when its raining
you can say it when the sun is shinning
or when the wind chimes are chimimg
i used to know what love meant
untill you got up and went
you left my heart with a deep black hole
i never thought i could love another soul
i wished yo would come back to me and promise you will never flee
i knew that wish would never come true
but then i had a thought, probally a clue
everyday went by with hope and luck
hopeing to hear his footsteps trudging through the muck
then one day i saw a figure in the dusk
from far away i could smell his musk
our eyes locked and i could tell that he knew i was his daughter
i knew that second that i was right, he was my father
then i thought back to that clue, it was true
my thought was inturupted when i heard you say 'i love you'
