I’ve Been Trying to Tell You
by Cynthia Cuenca
I’ve been trying to tell you
that what you did and continue
to do is wrong.
And you know it.
It hurt me and it still does.
I’ve been trying to tell you
that I want you and need
you in my life.
I wish you were here
guiding me, giving me advice,
telling me you care, telling me
you love me and that you
need me too.
I’ve been trying to tell you
that I want my father in my life,
that that’s the only thing I need
to be happy.
It’s hard hearing people tell me
how much fun they have with their fathers,
wishing I had something to say too.
But I don’t and it hurts.
I’ve been trying to tell you
that I need you in my life, Dad.
