father

tell me now
whos this man
hes in our photos
I cant remember my youth
I cant remember this man
he looks so familiar
his face resembles mine
where did he go
where has he been
will I ever have a chance
of seeing him again

man in my pictures
he lives in my glossy memories
where did it go wrong
why do I have to cry out
and sing this sad song

I don’t know you
and never will
I see you holding my hand
in a displayed memory
why cant I live
that memory now
just know where ever you are
time keeps chasing me
and ur memory fades
I only wish I knew
that man in our photos

man in my pictures
he lives in my glossy memories
where did it go wrong
why do I have to cry out
and sing this sad song

edwreck02: This is a very touching poem! It must be very hard growing up without a father and wondering where he is! You have expressed that feeling very well.

Eduardo,I am very sorry for your loss.I feel your pain and empathize.Although I had my father till '96,he was never really ever there for me and he was abusive and neglectful.I don't think there is much difference from never having a nuturing parental relationship and having one and quickly losing it.The hunger gnaws at you and the deficit will always exist.The only things I can think of that may aleviate the hunger and pain are strong and supportive friendships,and perhaps even "adopting" someone who will be like a father or mother to you.It can happen for it has happened to me already.Love takes many forms and you can still be nurtured in a loving relationship.I hope that this is the case for you.

Peace,Street Heart

I am so sorry that your memories do not include a loving father. Joyce

Ed~
Very sad to only have the 'glossy photos' to try to conjure up the worth of a man~

Eduardo,

A very touching and sad read. I envy those who have/had a father in their lives. I haven't seen mine in over 30 years.
