The love was always there,
But where was he?
Why didn’t he outstretch his hand to me.
How come he never sought me out.
He has no idea what I cared about.
Dad! I want to live.
But, I have nothing more to give.
Please tell me you care,
I have to hear I’m not alone out there.
I needed you and I always will,
But I won’t wait any longer, by the windowsill.
I’ll only see your back turned to the streetlight
Wondering why you didn’t say Goodnight
I was ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ and I loved you.
I’m much older now, and I am anew
I’ve lost too much hope
But you should know Dad; I’ve learned to cope,
You were my Father,
And I was your daughter
But now we’re only words.
