Daddy are you listening ?
Theres some things i have to say ,
The things i think and pray about
every single day.
I want you to know i remember ,
So clearly that awful fight ,
You told us you were leaving
And drove off into the night .
At 5 it is confusing
To see all this go down ,
It took some getting used to
Not having you around .
Even when we'd visit you
You were never really there,
Another bottle , another line ,
Its not like you cared.
Isnt it odd that at ten years old i was
Tucking a grown man into bed ?
And isnt sad as your daughter ,
I couldnt trust a word you said ?
So how am i suppose to trust man
Who says that he will stay?
You said the exact same thing
And you still walked away.
Understand your actions ,
Have trickled into my life ...
Youre the one who desserted us,
Yet its your loved ones that pay the price.
