The Loneliness Poem by joseph kaphuka

To: Olivia
From: Daddy

Note: Daddy’s Cry for Help


The joy I felt when u said u loved me.

The comfort I felt when u promised me 4eva.

The happiness I felt when I held u in my arms.

The pain I feel when I think of another man in my shoes.

The burns inside my heart when I reminisce about what we had.

Hungry for yo love as the thoughts of my past make me feel so empty inside.

The loneliness

The loneliness that haunts me every time I think about u,

Your daughter and my selfish ways.

The loneliness my daughter will feel; a life without a daddy.

Then we all make belief its 4 the better coz at least u`r happy.

Living everyday hoping one day we’ll understand each others weaknesses and

turn em into our Strengths.

Yeah i Love u but The Loneliness is my weakness; but just knowing that u still

love me keeps me strong.



Daddy
