Why

Since I was young
You were never there
Growing up
I thought you didn't care
You always came
To tuck me in at night
But where were you
When I couldn't fight?
I waited
Thinking you would come back for me
But then you went far away
Now I can barely see
I never thought I'd say this
After all the tears I'd shed
But ever since you went away
A piece of my soul has died
You made me think
You didn't care
I've been forced
To construct an intangible fortress
And pretend to be safe within
But why in my time of need
You were never there
I can't forget what you have done
But I also can't forget you
