They said you left
The day I was born.
I want to hate you
But my heart refuses to.
Tears of sorrow I’ve cried
Longing for you.
Where are you daddy?
Now that I need you?
Why did you run away?
Run away when mom needed you most?
Doesn’t your heart cry out for me?
Cry out for the son,
That you never laid eyes on.
Was it my fault? Or mom’s fault?
That you vanished for years?
Don’t you long for me?
The seed of your loins?
Or do you fear having
to face your responsibilities?
Or coming face to face
with your mistakes?
What is to become of me
Now that I also have a son?
How will I become a father
When I’ve never had one?
Will I, like you, run away and hide?
Or will I stay and rear with love?
