Daddy's Little Girl

by themeuneverseen   Dec 8, 2005


Daddy I hope you know I love you
With everything in my heart
You have always been there for me
Right from the very start

You held me when I cried
Always kissed me goodnight
I'd say I love you Daddy
Just as you turned off the light

I felt so safe just knowing
That just a few feet away
Was the guy I could go to for anything
And then everything would be ok

Before I went to school each day
You'd wrap me in your arms
Tell me that you love me
And that I'm safe from all harm

But now I've grown up Daddy
And things have changed so much
No longer does it feel the same
To feel your loving touch

Everyday it's something different
I'm always doing something wrong
I'm so sick of everything
But I have to stay strong

Daddy I hate to admit this
But I'm so scared of you
Every time you raise your voice
I don't know what you’re going to do

Ever since that horrible day
At some time last year
You grabbed me and pushed me down
It made me shed a tear

Never had you done this before
Hurt me in any kind of way
Always replaying in my head
I just can't forget that day

Now every time you get mad and yell
I don't know what to do
Not wanting to replay that day
Wishing that it was untrue

Then another day came by
That made me scared again
The yelling and screaming started
And then the fighting began

I yelled and so did you
Then you raised your hand at me
I knew something was going wrong
So then I tried to flee

But Daddy you’re so much bigger than me
There was no way I could get by
You grabbed me and threw me into the chair
Daddy you made me cry

Then Mommy came and stopped you
And I quickly ran away
Down the stairs and to my room
And that is where I stayed

I heard you coming down the stairs
I hid under my blanket in fear
Hoping you wouldn’t touch me
I wished I could have disappeared

You said “I’m sorry”
And “I love you so”
“I went a little over board,”
“This much we both know.”

You say you love me Daddy
And that you will stop this crap
But it seems like every time you get mad
I get stuck in the same trap

I love you so much Daddy
That much I can say
I will always be your little girl
Forever and for today

    Ohh My God, this sounds just like my life, when I lived at home with my parents...My dad use to get so mad and I was the one he pushed around, but never ever once did he said he was sorry....I am so sorry that you have to go through this, just be strong okay!! If you ever need some one to talk with, I am here for you...

    Much love Sabina
