the child
the child had been told repeatedly " daddy loves u , he loves u "
and she had waited patiently for dad to show up
but dad never did
and so the child grew from a toddler to a young child
to an adolescent and a teenager
always being told the same thing
dad loves u, he'll be home any day now
but dad never showed up.
at some point the child stopped waiting
promises only last for so long
and unfulfilled they lose their signifigance
at first the child had felt abandoned
and then after a while as the child grew into a young woman
she didnt care anymore
if dad doesnt love me i will love myself
and she did
she loved herself and she didnt care what anyone thought of her
or what the dad who never showed up thought of her
because promises only last for so long
they come with expiration dates
