Daddy's Little Girl

Heaven was calling for a new angel

Everyone's tell me my day will get better

But I can't survive without my heart

I wish it was my breath that had stopped

I keep crying for you but you don't see my tears

I can't pray anymore for the pain to go away

You promised to never leave me alone

Where are you now? The world is so cold

When you died, you took a part of me with you

It's hard to win the war when every battle I have, I lose

Can someone take me away from this world?

I'll always be daddy's little girl

Mom left us again

We're barely paying rent

Our family is split in two

Can I please move in with you?

I feel your touch even though you've been gone for years

I see your picture, I found more tears

Please, come back to me

I need you, daddy

I thought I'd get over this one day

Why won't the pain just fade away?

Visit me in my dreams

You're the one person that I need

I could give you some ideas for your piece, but this is so personal and I feel such an open wound, I just have to tell you how well written it is. Your pain I feel, but I can tell that your pain is far more than I would know.

Hopefully you will find your focus outside of the conditions you have lived.

Keep writing and bleeding on the pages, it helps. Peace be with you young lady, You have a beautiful soul.

This hit me straight in the heart. My dad died when I was really young, and I can definitely relate to the feelings conveyed in this poem. It brought tears to my eyes. Well written!

This brings very visual thoughts to mind. I can see a girl wanting her father. I can relate to this, not for my father but for my cousin who left behind an entire family of children. I could feel the pain in this poem.
