Daddy


Sitting on your knee

talking just you and me 

Five years old without a care

whenever you were near

I would sit at the door

but you came home late more and more

Where are you dad

am I being bad

you told me you loved me 

always together we'd be

yet you chose your addiction 

your words were just fiction 

It has been thirteen years

how the heck are those beers

You left because you love me

but you didn't can't you see
