Daddy


daddy held me close

said that everything he did was to protect me

daddy always said the prettiest things

momma didn't like me

she said i took daddy away from her

momma did bad things

she said not to tell daddy

maybe that is why im in heaven

momma seems happy with daddy

i miss daddy

he made me feel safe

he took good care of me

i was his little girl

the pain washes over once in a while

sometimes id with it would go away

i wish i was with daddy

i miss you daddy
