Dad's Cold Heart
You had to make this
heart of mine angry
before you die.
You left me bitter
this tired, cold heart
of mine.
I once loved you
but you turned me away.
The words you send leave
me discouraged.
At one time, I felt you
was my only friend.
How can you turn a
daughter away when
she loves you so much
even when it rains
everything is beautiful
because of your soul.
I am tired and weak.
I suffer every night.
Can I not be perfect?
You try to bring me
down and this heart
is turning black.
One day when you are
put to rest in the grave
will I shed a tear?
Of course I will and
the sun will still shine
because I always loved
you.
