Dear Daddy

Why are you not here?
Didn't you love me?
Wasn't I enough, to make you change.
When I raise my arms for a hug,
there is nothing, only air.
When I cry, you are not here  to soothe my woes,
and tell me everything will be alright.
Did the thought of me chase you away?
When I should of been enough to stay.


I Love You
Your Loving Daughter
