"Explanations..."
  by texascity


The day you were born
You brought tears to my eyes.
It’s so hard living without you
My heart just wants to die.

I wasn’t always a good father
But not once
Did you say that you didn’t care.
The streets were apart of me
And to you
This wasn’t fair.

Now I am locked up
And I don’t know how to make it
Through.
All I care about is that God will
Watch over you.

When you were a baby
You would listen to the beat of
My heart.
Behind the walls
I was staying strong
But emotionally
I was fallen apart.

I was blessed
Just to see your smile on your
Face.
Can you ever forgive daddy
For visiting me at this place?

One day sweetheart
We will finally live together.
And I say
One day
Because they are trying to take
Us apart.
But they don’t understand do they?
Daddy cant live without
His heart.

(wrote this after the day i was sentenced)

this is a very heartfelt piece, pa. real life. know a lot of men that feel this way, just not sure if any of them would be able to express it this well.

*exhales* Damn poet. Damn... This write stirred something in me. It dug deep in me and it pulled out something I thought was gone. The feeling of missin' my daddy. Now, I know that this isn't exactly what your poem was about but that's what it did for me. Your flow was on point and my eye were on the screen from start to end. It was straight from the heart and it showed. My prayers are with you. Great write poet. This is for sure going in my favs.
