After the sunset- his promise (collab)

by Chelsey   Mar 10, 2006


Leaving daddy was so very hard, I didn't know just how to say goodbye.
his little girl now off to college, I held my head so high...
I kissed his rosey cheeks, hugged him ever so tight,
I told dad not to worry, that everything would be alright...

Tears of joy I shed today, for my little girl is now off to college.
to have some fun, study hard and gain some worthwhile knowledge...
I'll miss my little girl, oh so very much. The pain inside really does show,
so I held her tight saying " I'll always love you" for this you shall always know...

My boyfriend had my room set up, I was so excited to stay there,
this was the only situation, my proud father feared.
when I was a little girl this was his promise to me,
" if ever a man lay a hand on you, I'll be there in a heart beat"

From the beginning something inside always told me that this was wrong from the start,
but with respect to my daughters feelings and what lies within her heart...
I gave her boyfriend the benefit of the doubt for taking my baby girl in,
but inside my heart, it really does ache.. for the trust in this boy has really never been...

Everything was going fine until one night when he came home,
fuming because of work , he yelled at me to get off the phone...
That was the first time his fist hit my face,
as I lied there helplessly on the floor watching him angrily pace...

Tonight I knew something was so wrong,
I felt it deep inside all day long...
talking to my daughter on the phone i sensed the tone in her voice,
boiling inside I instantly knew I had to make a quick choice...

It went on for a while I just couldn't tell my dear dad,
i'm sure he'd probably kill him daddy would really be that mad...
but one night i couldn't take it I called daddy telling him i was all bruised,
told him things weren't going good I was getting abused...

I feared for her life, I asked if she was alright,
told her i'm bringing her home tonight...
I'm on my way to rescue thee,
now he will have to deal with me...
it won't be pretty thats all i've got to say,
what matters most is now you'll be safe, that's what's important to me today..

When the sun sets every night nobody really knew ,
how I got bruises all over or how so many bumps just instantly grew...
daddy kept his promise, he came and helped his little girl,
he saved me from being beaten and took a predator forever out of this world...

This was a collab between me and eddie Garcia (my cyber dad)..we really hope you enjoyed this write and how it came from two point of veiws! Eddie it was a pleasure working with you and we should do another one later on! Thanks so much!!
