Never Had a Chance
Diane Perna
Never Had A Chance
Daddy, when will all those tears
wash away the hate and
where will I go from here?
Daddy, remember when I was a young
child all those nights I cried because your
words cut so deep and our lives were torn apart.
Daddy, as I whisper to the heavens and to hell
where will hate lead us from here
but no one really knew what happened to us.
Daddy, you can’t hear me now
but I still feel the pain
you hated the helplessness in my eyes.
Daddy, everywhere I can hear your words
even the Lord can’t cancel this
no one can ever help me with this.
Daddy you left this world without a word
when will the hate be washed away
we had to say goodbye with no words.
Daddy, we never had a chance
and you can’t say we ever tried!
