Why, Daddy?

A shiver of pain, vibrating through me
his fist connecting with my face
why does daddy hurt me?
he makes me scared of this place

what am i supposed to say
when people ask me wy i'm bruised
i feel so lonely now
so abused and so confused

whenever i ask him why
he bursts into tears
i want to make him better
but he is the worst of my fears

why do i love him so much
when he always hurts me so
even with the pain hes caused me
the proof of which i show

i know he truly loves me
he just can't seem to stop
mummy says he has a disease
and when he drinks it pushes him over the top
