For the Love of a Daughter

Four years old with my back to the door.
All I could hear was the family war.
Your selfish hands always expecting more.
Am I your child or just a charity ward.
You have a hollowed out heart.
But it’s heavy in your chest.
I try so hard to fight it.
But it is heavy in your chest.
I try so hard to fight it.
But it’s hopeless.
Hopeless.
You are hopeless.
Oh, father,
Please father.
I’d love to leave you alone.
but I can’t let you go.
Oh, father,
Please father.
But the bottle down.
For the love of daughter.
It’s been five years.
Since we spoken last.
And you can’t take back.
What we never had.
Oh, I can be manipulated.
Only so many times.
Before even I love you.
Starts to sound like a lie.
You have a followed out heart.
But it’s heavy in your chest.
I try so hard to fight it.
But it’s hopeless.
Oh, father,
Please father.
I’d love to leave you alone.
But I can’t let you go.
Oh, father
Please, father
Put the bottle down.
For the love of a daughter.
Don’t you remember
I’m your baby girl.
How could you throw me right out of your world.
So young when the pain had begun.
Now forever afraid of being loved.
Oh, father,
Please, father
I’d love to leave you alone.
But I can’t let you go.
Oh, father,
Please, father
Put the bottle down.
For the love of a daugter.
For the love of a daughter.
