Apart
I feel the tears of loss touch my eyes
The weight of sadness upon my soul
I looked around and saw that you were gone
Had my eyes been closed in the darkness?
I was hiding from my pain
Dug in so deep, I could not see the world
You were gone so suddenly, and I know
I failed you
I will never feel the same again
There will be a hole in my heart forever
It is filled with my mistakes
My regrets haunt me at night and keep me awake
I failed you
I let you go when I should have held you close
I should have loved you more
How blind I was to your sadness and fear
I did see your pain
I did not know how to reach you
I failed you
There is no mercy for me in my own heart
Nothing that can right the wrong I feel I did
I failed you
So now, I have to live with my selfdoubt and regrets
I love you as only a father can love a daughter
I will try my best
To never, fail you again
