Words Unsaid
Location
Regret is a wicked feeling that keeps you up at night.
I tell myself this was how it was meant to be,
But I know deep down I should have done what I feel is right.
I should have told him of the feelings raging inside of me.
I don’t remember the moment where everything changed,
One day I was his most important person,
The next day our relationship had become estranged.
He went from seeing me as his daughter to seeing me as a burden.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
Tell him he was the cause of the pain I had to endure.
Then maybe, he would’ve changed and my dad would still be mine.
If I told him now I doubt my words would be the cure.
He is a man who hasn’t been my father for many years.
He will never know the kind of person I am today.
He will always be the source of my tears,
I try to hate him but my heart will continue to disobey.
So here I lay, in the middle of the night.
The words I want to say filling me with dread,
They are words that scream inside me as I pretend I’m alright.
These are the words that will forever be unsaid.
