A Childs Innocence

Tonight i heard Daddy,
Crying in his sleep
I thought he must be sick
So i stuck socks on his feet

Maybe he needed a drink,
From working so very much
So I gave him some apple juice,
In my favorite Barbie cup

He was really shivering,
I didn't know what to do
So i got my cuddly teddy
And my baby rug to.

I snuggled up next to him
And whispered in his ear
"Daddy I'll always love you,
Even if you didn't care"

My Daddy finally spoke,
Tears streaming down his face
"God, i hate you so much,
For taking my daughter from this place
She had been so special,
To me and my wife,
If only i had stopped yelling
She wouldn't have taken her life
The rope was so tight,
I just couldn't cut her free
I know i am so hopeless,
God, please forgive me"

With that prayer i smiled,
And slowly faded away
Because my Daddy loves me,
And in my heart he'll stay

... I saw this little girl today, getting yelled at by her dad for dropping something. That kind of inspired me to write this. In a weird way.
