Dad

It’s about when my father left my life, but a few years later returned...
Who is that man?
Whom I call: dad
He was unknown to me
For so many years

He left me alone
He left me afraid
He left me completely
Without his embrace

He used to
Comfort me always
He used to be
At my side

But all that changed
Seven years ago
I was ten, still young
And he just said; I have to go

I couldn’t understand
How could I
I was just a boy
Not anymore

I know why he went
He couldn’t find a job
Well you know what
I don’t care anymore

I am happy now
I’ve forgotten the past
And welcomed the future
With open arms

He may not be at my side
But he is in spirit
May he be safe
In this world unhidden
