Where Are You Daddy?

You once told me when i was very young that you would be there for me.
That "Even though mommy and daddy are fighting daddy will always be there for you."
A meer eleven years later and you are no where to be seen.
When I cry at night and just need a hug
it is mom's arms that hug me and not your own.
I think to myself why is it that after you promissed
me you would alwyas be there are you not here for me.
Have i displeased you so much that you can
not even stand to talk to me on the phone?
What crime have i commited to deserve being excommunitcated from your family, or is it that your words were but a false hope?
Did the carry any weight or were they simply
empty words meant to ease your escape?
