Dear dad , 

im writing to tell you the woman you once loved is gone..... she died waiting for you 

the woman who taught me to read

the woman who gave me everything i could need

the woman who scolded me when i got in my 1st fist fight

the woman who would tuck me in everynight 

      Her name was Laura , do you even remember that?

I remember how you would smell of booze 

beating her until she would bruise 

telling me i would never amount to anything 

chrushing my dreams of ever wanting to sing

    so to conclude this letter i only have a couple more things to say

I needed you then buyt ive outgrown you now

because my mother taught me how

she pushed me to do anything i wanted to 

so 1 day you can realize we made it without you 

   But still no matter what i planned to do 

   I Still forgive you
