Daddy, where are you?
Did you leave because I wasn’t pretty.
because I wasn’t smart.
because I wasn’t good enough?
Maybe I wasn’t enough to fill the whole in your heart?
because this other family needed you more than I?
because you didn’t love me anymore?
Daddy, Where are you?
I need you, moms losing herself again.
Daddy, Where are you?
Why can’t you just call?
When you wake up in the morning do you think of us?
Do you think about the life you left here in Texas?
Do you think of me, your “little girl” as you would say.
Daddy, Where are you?
This makes 5 years since you’ve been gone.
You’ve missed so much.
I’m losing myself without you daddy.
I have lost the vibrant gleam inside my eyes
I have lost all the love in my heart.
It still hurts daddy, I miss you.
I miss the way you’d wake me up with your bright green eyes and whisper “I love you” at my door before I went to bed.
I miss you, I miss us, I miss our family.
Daddy, Come home.
We haven’t been a family since you left.
The boys are grown and have children daddy.
Don’t you want to meet your grand baby?
your youngest son became a Marine, daddy.
Aren’t you proud?
Your baby girl is now 16, will you call?
You said we didn’t need you, but you lied.
I need you daddy.
I feel so alone without you, daddy.
I don’t see how I made it this far daddy.
I still wake up in the middle of the night crying at the fact that you left me.
You left me with no return, just a number to call.
I don’t want a number to call daddy, I want you.
I want to wake up knowing you love me.
I want to feel your presence again.
I’ve lost hope, daddy.
I’ve given up on you.
I’m no longer your little girl
I’m not going to wish for your return, but rue it.
I don’t want to see your face.
I don’t want your phone calls.
Daddy, Where are you?
