This is a poem I just wrote about my dad,
and I have no idea why I posted it here.
I have never been good at writing poems,
but I wanted to find a poem to my mon since it's christmas eve tomorrow and I wanted to give her something special. And then I ended up writing a poem about my dad.....
I'm 18 years old and I'm from Norway (I guess that explains why my english sux...) Anyway, here's the poem I really hope some of you will read it, and maybe even like it......
I wonder why I had to wait so long to get that special hug again,
why it took so long to give me that attencion.
I wonder why the only attencion you gave me was gifts,
why you couldn’t just give me such a simple thing as some of your time.

I wonder why you never seem to remember what I like to eat and what I don’t,
why you can’t try to ask me what I like instead of always guessing.
I wonder why you ask me to tell you what’s going on in my life,
why you ask when you never listen when I sit down to talk.

I wonder why you never get mad at me when I yell and say mean things,
why you seem afraid to talk to me in the fear of doing something wrong.
I wonder why I always get mad at you for simple little things that aren’t your fault,
why you never get sick of me blaming you for everything.

I wonder why I still blame you for not being there for me when I was a kid,
why I just can’t forget about it and be happy for the things you do for me now.
I wonder why I can’t tell you all the things I want to,
why I can’t be the daughter you want.

I wonder why I need such long time to forgive,
why I blame you for everything.
I wonder if you know how sorry I am for making you sad every day,
why I do this I don’t know I guess I just need some time.

I wonder if you know how much I love you....

I honestly really liked your poem. I understand that no1 likes to be hurt. And everyone needs time 2 forgive and forget. I don't blame u. Keep it up.

Forgiving takes time, but you can never forget. I know what having a father like that is like. You portrayed the emotions involved nicely. *hugs*
