Daddy what did I do wrong?
Daddy why don't you care...

I know you're far away
And I know right now it's hard...

Sadness is not permitted here
Frowns are forbidden...

Smiling as if I care,
Smiling as if you matter...

I said I'd write you something
To show you how I care...

Beautiful anxiety creeps to the surface
Ecstatically fearing life without love...

This may seem like a cliche
A poem so often told...

Today has been hard, but I made it through,
But only because I have got you...

I'll follow your dreams
Help you to succeed...

How does love
Bypass my brain...

A harsh reality
A feeling so true...

It's been so long without the sun
I'm losing hope it will return...
