My Life's Pleasures

Hey Dad

"I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes, but those are just a long lost memory of mine." -Good Charlotte from 'Emotionless' 

Do you remember your little girl at all? 

How could you let all this fall apart?

Don't you feel anything in your heart?

She's so young and fragile...

And selfishly you took yourself away.

When all she wanted was for you to stay.

She dreampt of spending time with you.

She wanted you to be proud of her.

And now everyday she lives in hurt.

Unwanted and alone she is, thanks to you.

Everything is too much for her to do.

And the reason is all because of you.

Her blue eyes stare blankly in the distance.

Imagining you were there for just one instance.

With a smile and warmth saying everything will be alright.

That she could finally stop crying herself to sleep at night.

The only thing she wanted most was to know her dad.

But the thought, so painful now, is too sad.

Could it kill you to step up and be a father?

Even after she grew up past a toddler?

Can't she have you there for her?

It's not much she asks of, I'm sure

The darling girl just wants her daddy.

That's all she wants, so damn badly.
