when a father leaves his daughter

it leaves an emotional stain on her heart

it marks where he once said "i don't need you anymore."

sure, he didn't say it directly to her face

but leaving without warning is enough said

when a father leaves his daughter

it tricks her brain into thinking love is no such thing

that love is completely, utterly fictitious

her heart sinks into her stomach with sorrow

"why can't i be loved?" the heart mutters.

when a father leaves his daughter

she most likely 

will never

love 

a man

again

every man in her life who says he shall love her with his entire heart and soul,

will appreciate her and spoil her like the princess he sees her as,

and promises her that he will always stay until the ends of time

she won't believe

she'll have trouble trusting that man

she'll have trouble trusting anyone for that matter

'trust'

is just another word

there is no such thing as trust 

"i trusted my father to never leave

to always be here

so where is he now?

is he here now?

exactly.

'trust'

is fake."

when a father leaves his daughter

the daughter feels alone

completely alone in the world

even though millions of fathers have left their children

and millions of children can understand the sorrow

she still feel as if no one would understand

"no one would undestand the pain of an innocent 2 year old child

a child who was

left

neglected 

abandoned

ignored

& forgotten."

the pain of it all lingers on, and she'll carry that pain with her for years and years

when a father leaves his daughter

she ponders

she contemplates

she analyzes

she over-thinks

"what did i do wrong?"

"what can i fix?"

"how can i get him back?"

"should i change?"

"was it my fault".....







"it's my fault,

its all my fault.

he left...

because of me."

she comes to conclusion

to a false conclusion

"it's my fault"

♣︎

fathers

don't leave your daughters

stay

stay with your daughter

protect her

love her

show her true happiness

show her that you care

because when a father walks away with choice

it makes her feel worthless

and you can trust me on that

completely
