Where have you been? You’re nowhere to be found.
What once was family is forgotten thought.
To you it matters not how we were bound.
A ring is not enough for it was bought.
You wonder every day of how I’ve been.
Too soon it is to tell. I have not healed.
I have to make believe you’re never seen.
My heart is sinking, I put up my shield.
I can’t say that I miss you. What’s to miss?
Without you I can finally be free.
I sing my rhyme in my own little bliss
And play my six string that’s always is key.
No matter what you do or what you say,
I am better off alone anyway.

My father recently decided he no longer wanted to be a part of my family. This sonnet is about how my life changed after he left.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
