Authors Note : Sometimes I wonder if my real dad, thinks I
wonder how Klaire is doing? Or even I should call her up and ask how she’s
doing. I mean does he even think of me as his daughter anymore? I’m happy I’m out of his life but , what does
he think of this situation? I wrote this poem for every girl that has had
anything go wrong with family . Lost a parent ,someone near you; even a pet. This
is as true as the sky being blue.
I miss the way you
tucked me in when you got home from work.
I miss your mustache
brushing against the top of my lip when you kissed me goodbye
But one thing I will
never forget is you locking me in my room , for those long winter nights
Listening to me
screaming for you to let me out
Not letting me call
my mom , when I needed her the most
I hope that one day
you can feel how I felt back then
When you love
something or someone
But they walk out the
front door ignoring you while you scream for them to come back
Cry yourself to sleep
every night , wake up from nightmares with tears streaming down your face
Not being able to
express your feeling for so long ; hold it all in , I dare you.
Hey have you had
someone tell you they loved you and walked out?
No? I didn’t think so.
That’s because I’m living with you, saying this to me
Over and Over again ,
On repeat In my brain
I find it hilarious
that you can sit there and tell me you never meant to hurt me
You didn’t hurt me ,
you just ripped my heart in two .
But did I really
deserve that?
Just keep laughing
while I try and hide the fact my smile is fake
Every time your words
have left your mouth , you never thought of how they would affect me
But guess what , you
will never get inside my heart again
Now look who’s
laughing
The best part is that
you even left your own mother and father alone
Leaving me to be the
only one to catch them from falling through the cracks
Until one day when
you come prancing back in , stealing them from me too!
Have you done enough?
No , you decide that
you are going to bring my step dad that has cared for me more than you ever
did.
Into the mess you
made
Not to mention my mom
and sisters that don’t know any better than to comfort me when I cry over you
Try to be the only
one with the last name Ledger in your family out of 5 Nerdahls.
You will never be allowed
,back in my life so don’t try
You will never talk
to me again so I hope what you said made you feel good
You will never talk
to my family again , don’t try or I promise to make your family split in a
second
Turn around
Walk away
Say you love me one
more time and don’t mean it
Hear my 4 year old
scream for you to come back one more time
But don’t look back ,
because we all know you’re making a mistake
Oh and never will you
have your family call me again its hard enough to let you slip out of my life
As much as I’d love
to list everything you did to me
I have much more
important things to do so
See You Later Gator
Remember that?
Our little saying
that was only meant for us and only us to say
Not for you to pass
on to your kids with the lady you call your wife
Do you even have any
Idea what she put me through physically?
What about dragging
me to my room by my ears
Screaming in my face
, horrible things
I would just try and
stay strong for the time given and say I will get out of here someday
But I guess staying
strong doesn’t always work
I still think about
you , for sure
Do you think of me ?
Do you even still
love me?
Will I ever even see
you again?
Probably not am I OK
with that?
Yes , as long as I’m
still you one and only princess
Love you , forever
and always
Your Daughter
