Daddy

What happened to my daddy?
Why does he look like that?
Sitting there upon his chair
Getting big and fat

His tired eyes have wrinkled skin
For sleep is yet to come
He cries and cries and looks alone
And says he misses mum

Why is my daddy mourning?
I didn’t know he cared
But now he is a widow
He looks terrified and scared

What thoughts does he imagine?
And what goes through his head?
I wish he didn’t miss her so
I wish she wasn’t dead

Why did my mama do it?
Why did she hurt us so?
How could she be in so much pain
And never let us know?

The house just feels so quiet
Just so silent since she died
I can’t help blaming daddy
Cos she commited suicide
