• Its been forever sense I've seen your face
    Its been forever sense I've felt a fathers embrace
    Although right now I have to sit back and wait
    I wonder if its already to late...

    Its Christmas time,full of Happiness and Cheer
    Children count down the days till Santa comes with his Reindeer
    Parents hustle to get all the shopping done
    To make sure their childrens christmas is bright and fun

    I see this and I know I should be happy
    For the good things in life, not the crappy
    but deep inside theres this ping in my heart
    That reminds me my parents are apart
    and Christmas wont ever be normal...

    You say that you love me...but is that even true?
    Contact between is bare..and all because of a shoe
    "Thats stupid" you said "bring your sneakers!"
    My throat tighten as you shouted through the speakers

    I looked to the side to see my friends sneakers laying aside
    Just incase I ever needed to give them a try
    But you wouldnt take that, you made my words smother
    "Do you want to end up like your mother?"

    I stared at the phone full of shock
    and slamed the phone shut without a second thought
    Whats past is past, and its time to get over it
    But your to selfish to even admit

    Days past to months before I heard your voice again
    A class of gym turned into a trip to the orthopedic surgeon
    I dialed your numbers in my time of need
    I was sure you would follow the father's creed

    Instead of consolation, you yelled at me again
    Full knowing about my bad bend
    "you cant expect me to come back to you in your time of need." you say
    I cannot express my dismay..

    "No,listen..." you say but it was to late
    I clicked the end button, my tears falling down straight
    Isnt that what a father does? Help their children when their down?
    To make their day bright when all they can do is frown?

    I've learned many things sense then
    Like not to call or email you ever again
    Until the day comes when you finaly see
    What your pride has done to me

    I sit hear with a heavy heart
    Feeling as if its been stabbed with a dart
    I realize that I may never again see your face
    and never again feel a father's embrace...
