love, your daughter

dear daddy

my one true

love

it has been so long

i am older now

and i know

what you have done

and the hurt

you couldn't feel

to me,

is very real

i was just

a little girl

when you left me

in the cold

lost,

without a father

when i was only

8 years old

your hands

that held my picture

froze into me

with time

i cried out

for your embrace

as you blew

another line

the angel that greeted you

after the train

was a foreshadowed image

of my life

led by pain

to purge

to starve

to bleed

who knew

it comforts me

when i need you

your watching as

i'm slowly dying

you've killed me

without even trying

the angels cried

while your cheeks remain dry

you watch, in silence

and i gracefully die

i've never been beautiful

only diseased

i'm all thats left

of yesterday

i hope that you are pleased

i am so sorry daddy

for not being reason enough

to stay

i'm sorry i'm

not worth it

and you decided

to go away

you threw me into the air

my love

and i'm still falling down

please come back and catch me

before

i hit

the ground

i remember games we played

and songs that we had sang

daddy please

come break my fall

before i leave





with a bang
