time has tricked me

By scarlas29

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

how it seems- time has somehow tricked me. while here, i could not see- the mystery around me. you evaded me. w/the shadows- i now see, all the beauty- that could now be. time has stolen you- and now, how i need you, because my life seems tricky, and confusion fills me. so alike we think, and your help, i do need. but time has tricked me- and i do wish, you were here w/me. for a daddy, i do need- and i know you would be, this saddens me. i think of how it could be, of how less i mentioned thee- the little time we got to be. finally conscious- of how we could share time, and how you could have saved me. but time tricked me- did not let me see, the great father you could be.this poem is for my father who passed on (5.29.99) i am now realizing how much i need him to guide me; as we were so much alike and i know he'd help me w/all my confusion. he left @ a time when i had no time to appreciate real things, real family. overall, this is also an older poem, how's it sound?
