Thoughts of Junie

Dear Daddy, 

Why do you make me cry?
You never come to see me and I don't understand why.
Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, I can only try. 
I just turned 7, on the second. 
My sister said, it's the day before your birthday,
But you missed it yet again.

I can't pretend to know you, 
when I can't remember the last time I saw you.
I think it might've been then, when I was 5, and you came and said bye.  

Even so, I miss you dearly and I wish you would see me.
It kills me everyday to think about you.
Not having a father is harder than it seems, but I was never too keen.
I just pretend you're not there, down the street some where. 

I'm still your daughter, if you even care. 
I had that I love you daddy dearest, I just had to share.
