Daddy's Girl

She runs and plays, She seeks and hides So happy it seems, What's locked inside? Silent tears, A rain filled glass. It hides deep down, Under the mask. The days came and went, And the years slipped by. You never cared, 'Bout the tears she'd cry. She bounced and played, That little girl. Unshared moments, Not a care in the world. Her graduation, Has come and gone. Without you there, Her day still shone. But inside she wondered, Where you were. Why her special day, You didn't share with her. And at her wedding, She'll wonder why, You're not there to give her away, To her wonderful guy. Now a young woman, With emptiness in her heart Inside she screams, "You should have been there from the start!!!" Cheek in hand, A lock of hair she twirls. She's filled with empty dreams, Of being daddy's girl.
