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.
