dad
She could really use you right now,
There’s something in the back,
Of her overflowing mind
That’s telling her it won’t be okay;
If you’re not there.
She needs to know
Just how proud you are
Of the little girl you left behind
She yearns to know
That what she’s doing
Is what’s meant to be.
She wants some reassurance
In her overwhelming life
She’s been playing strong
For far too long now.
You can’t leave her much longer
Before she falls apart.
If only you knew,
You’d be here with her now.
Giving her hope,
Giving her what she needs.
Even for a moment,
It could change everything.
She doesn’t have the strength
To carry on with such
Disposition,
Her heart aches for better days
She’s never dreamt like the other children,
Her wishes were for something worthwhile.
They wanted fun and games—
But not her, no,
She just wished to see you once more
To hear your voice,
One last time.
By now it’s too late,
She knows you’re never coming back.
You’ve moved on,
It’s time for her to do the same.
