I'm Daddy's little girl
I was Daddy's little girl
I let it happen
I let it get out of control
I didn't do a good enough job
And now he's gone
I was his little princess
But he found a queen
All i wanted was for it to continue
No matter how much it hurt
No matter the consequences
I'm his little princess
I'm Daddy's little girl.
I Hate You Therisia.
You Took Him From Me.
she was his rainbow
he was her sky
his world changed the moment she was in his arms
all it took was a newborn’s cry

you could see it in her eyes
the depth of his unconditional love undisguised
you could see it in his smile
his newfound purpose and pride

he held her against his chest
as he rocked her to bed
years later she would sit by his feet
while he rocked himself to sleep

he was her greatest strength
she was his biggest fear
fathers and daughters
their love was unspoken yet so sincere

he was her friend, philosopher and father
their relationship was like no other
a bond formed so strong
as the skies transformed from dusk to dawn

nine years later
she still wears his watch
turning it back to the day
wondering what if time could stop

time erases nothing
every precious memory still fills her heart
to this day you can see it in her eyes
the depth of his unconditional love undisguised

their beings were one
their souls entwined
despite this distance
he was, is and will always be mine

My Dad was a unique person
too little understood.
I do not sing his praises
as often as I should.

This day I will remember
my Daddy as he was
holding me when I was little
tickling me, just because.

He would tell me not to worry
or have no fears, or tears.
He's in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days, or years

I won't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun.
For life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

I'll remember not his fight for breath
nor remember not the strife
I'll not dwell upon his death
but celebrate his life.

Today I celebrate his birthday.
He would be eighty~four.
Though a woman now of many years,
I'm still my Daddy's little girl.

Here he lies
with his two wives
his wife and her twin sister
between the two
who really knew
identical, they were also tricksters

I needed a father Not a friend,
I needed someone to chase the monsters outFrom under my bed.
I needed guidance and praze ,
Not someone I didn't hear from for days.
I needed someone to teach me how to ride a bike ,
Not someone who brought me to drug fights.
I needed someone to dry my tears,
Not someone to get me beer.
I needed someone to right me when I was wrong ,
Not someone who did drugs , to make them feel like they belong.
I needed you there .
The disappointment I can no longer bare.
I've held these words in for so many years ,
I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even care.
I hoped that one day you'd chose me over drugs,
But I realized that the high was you're only love.
I always tried to be daddy's little girl.
I tried my best to belong in your ****** up world.
I realize now , that I have never known you,
As much as I always wanted to.
You chose your addiction over me,
As I grew up it was clear to see.
I always had hope.
But in the end ,
You chose dope.
I saw the life from your eyes slowly disappear,
Loosing me was no longer a fear.
I tried so hard to help you out,
But you always brushed it off as if you didn't know what I was talking about.
Weight started to shed and I could see your bones,
With a room full of people , I have never felt So alone .
If You taught me anything it is this ,
Not every one should have kids.

I looked for you..
at the bottom of every empty bottle.
I lined them up and waited
for you to reappear and swallow.
I knew you had a secret stash
a different bar I didn't know.
But still I sat here wishing, thinking,
maybe you'd come home.

— The End —
