Fatherless Woman

I look like him
Speak like him
Share the same love for cycles as him
Yet I don't know him
He knows my name
I know his name
We smile the same
Yet, I don't know him
He's out in the streets
In and out of bars he creeps
Cheap alcohol
Cheaper women
Sleepin
He made me
The unwanted baby
Our resemblances are uncanny
My parents didn't plan me
He was never there
Growing up was unfair
All I wanted was his love
for him to care
To him, I wasn’t a name, maybe child number 3
No emotional attachment to me, or nurturing shared
God said "Be fruitful and multiplied."
My dad literally complied
He stayed long enough to make me
Never had a father to call mine
Never stayed around for the tears I cried
