Stepdaughter and Stepfather

In my life at 10

Gone before I was 30

Twenty years of pain

When you left this world

I thought it was over

How stoic you looked

In your casket on that sad day

I said my goodbye

Despite our scarred past

Tears still escaped my eyes

Finding our peace

 In later years

Hasn’t erased so much pain

I grew up alone

Isolated

What would I say to you today?

Clueless as to what I would say

If I ever get to see you again

Sometimes I really miss you

I don't know why
