This pain has never left me,
From the time you went away,
You told me you were coming back,
So in this spot I stay.

You never came to find me,
You never brought me home,
In the garden where you took me,
Sits a static human gnome.

I wish you’d come to get me,
I want to leave this place,
I sit and wait, still so irate,
Still searching for your face.

I wonder why you left me,
I wonder what went wrong,
Did I somehow disappoint you?
Is that why I'm here so long?

I'll try to make it better,
Just tell me what to do.
I hope you get this letter,
So you'll know that I need you.

So please, please come and get me
Take me away from here,
Come back fulfil your promise dad,
Come back and and wipe my tears!

Musel:  I guess so many abandoned children feel they are to blame in some way, for the disappearance of their parents. You have passed this feeling along in your poem, so very well.

It's very hard to express how it feels with a parent figure up and disappears... regardless of if it's through a divorce, death, or seperation.

You've done a very good job of showing the feelings of wanting and waiting for his return.

Your poem is beautiful. It actually brought me to tears, because it tells my son's story. And you say exactly what he said. Thank you!

Really good poem, it flows nicely.  I like your meter, there might be a few errors, but you are way better at meter than I am haha.  Keep it up,
