dear daddy
I'm sorry
for making you feel
bad enough
that you had to lash out
back at me

dear daddy
I'm sorry
for not being your perfect daughter
one you could
be proud of
love
forever

dear daddy
I'm sorry
for everything I've said
through tears
through pain
that obviously caused you
so much suffering
that you needed to be mad at me

dear daddy
you should be sorry
for the years
that you stole
from me
in your frenzy
for power
glory
and love

dear daddy
why are you not sorry
for hurting
your little princess
you were my king
but now
I am just
another ghost
in your castle halls
