Last
night I picked up the phone to hear your voice on the other end.
Why bother now…our relationship has lost the ability to mend.
Are you starting to feel guilty? Do you want to make things right?
You said, "I'm sorry I missed Christmas sweetie. Things have been a little tight."
You said, "I promise this time I'll make it up to you, you'll see."
When will you see that all I really want is for you love me?
"How old are you now dear?" you ask when you should know.
You had to do it; you could not just leave well enough alone.
Yes father, today is my eighteenth birthday.
"Well the child support and health benefits will be ceased," you say.
Selfish man, you care nothing about me.
You love only yourself and your petty money.
Why bother? Why waste your time?
Always feeding me some bullshit line.
The tears wash the brown away...
What a way to say happy birthday.
