Do Bullies Fall in Love?

For the Love of a Daughter(8)

*Ariel POV*

I left the boys flat and went to the studio. I pulled out the picture of my mum  and a card fell out. I never noticed it. It was for me

Dear Ariel,

its your father. If your reading this it means that things are really bad. I never meant to hurt you. I'm so sorry. I've always been an drug addict and an alcoholic. Your mother saved me, but now that she is gone I don't know what to do. And now your sister had died as well. I can't take it anymore. I know that things are going to be bad from now on. But its alright. If you haven't already done so yet... run away baby girl. Please save yourself. Only your mother could save me but she's gone and so am I. Listen don't ever come back for me consider me died. stay strong and move on. I'll love you.

                                                                                                  Love, Daddy

Tears left my eyes. A small smile formed a on my face, but then it went away. Why couldn't he have stopped the drinking and using drugs. He couldn't stopped not even for the love a daughter. soon my mother's words ran through my mind. "Pour your heart out on paper, turn your feeling into music" and that's what I did. I got my music book. And started writing lyrics down and went to the piano.

Four years old with my back to the door

All I could hear was the family war

Your selfish hands always expecting more

Am I your child or just a charity ward

You have a hollowed out heart

But it's heavy in your chest

I try so hard to fight it

But it's hopeless ,hopeless You're hopeless Oh

father, Please father

I'd love to leave you alone But I can't let you go

Oh father Please father Put the bottle down

For the love of a daughter

Oh

It's been five years

Since we've spoken last,

And you can't take back

What we never had

Oh, I can be manipulated

Only so many times

Before even I love you

Starts to sound like a lie

You have a hollowed out heart

But it's heavy in your chest

I try so hard to fight it

But it's hopeless,

Hopeless

You're hopeless

Oh father
