Daddy, i love you

She happily jumpropes in the yard,
doesn't notice the man in his car,
he's way too silent coming up,
from behind, in one move, she drops.
She screams as her torn wrists run red,
he's leaning over her in bed,
there next to her lies a gun,
she knows that it has just begun.

One by one, the blows they fall,
'till he's almost broken them all,
but as she cries, she feels no pain,
oblivion descends like rain.
He throws her body to the ground,
an empty shell, waiting to be found,
her blood still covering his arms,
he walks away, taking no harm.

The killer sits, in his room,
as a radio plays a lonely tune,
his face buried in his hands,
he has no hope, but yet he stands.
On the wall a picture sits, for what he did avenge,
every child that he fell, was killed for his revenge.
On this picture, under the glass, four words are scrawled across,
the meaning of his angry life, the reason for his loss.

In it shows a little girl, dressed up, wearing a fairy crown,
his eyes are strangely bright, as he takes the picture down.
He remembers that one dark night, so very long ago,
ever since that wretched day, the hours have gone too slow.
The fate of his little girl, is far too true,
as the truth echoes in the words she wrote;
"Daddy, I love you"
