Dear Father Figure

You may leave and you may abandon us.

But we will stay strong and grow.

You may have never showed us what a relationship is

Or even made our view on love crooked

But we will learn each time you leave

We aren’t the old used toys you have lost care for

We are indispensable

We are true

We are here

So run away

Don’t say goodbye

And leave

There is much better role models we can look to

And more love we can feel now you’ve gone.

We may think of you now and again

But it’s not with sorrow or tears

No it’s with pity because you’re the one who lost.
