Angel From the Stars

by Allison   Mar 17, 2007


I sit there and hold on to
My social worker's hand
Watching my daddy
Sitting in the stand

His cold eyes never look at me
He doesn't want to notice I'm there
The judge says, "Sir your daughter is being taken away
are you aware?"

My eyes wants to cry
But I'm trying to stay brave
I want to impress my daddy
To show him I can behave

Daddy just nods his head
And finally looks at me
"Yes I'm aware he says."
He looks at me but doesn't see

My hair is tied in a pretty blue bow
I wore my best dress today
The torn ones I had?
I threw them all away.

But he doesn't say how nice I look
He just sits there, very still
I want him to say "I love you."
I don't think he ever will

The social worker told me daddy was naughty
She said hitting be was bad
Why would he try to hurt me?
We were all each other had!

I know daddy loves me
And if he doesn't say it
It doesn't mean I won't stop loving him
Not one tiny bit

The judge hits the gavel
Everyone stands to leave
I run over to daddy
Tugging on his sleeve

"Daddy, daddy!" I tell him
"I love you with all my heart!
I'm getting good grades in school
My teacher says I'm smart!"

Daddy's eyes stare at me
And they flash a frightening gray
Before Daddy hits me
His eyes always look this way

"Don't you understand?
I don't love you, child."
His gaze was cold
And his smile was wild

He turned away from me
Like I wasn't his little girl anymore
I felt my eyes crying
Like they'd never cried before

My social worker hugged me
Told me it was okay
For me to miss my daddy
And to hate him this way.

"Always know you're an angel,
Born from the stars
Now you'll have a life
Away from the pain, hurt, and scars"

Deep inside I could feel it
My wings beginning to spread
And that very day
All my fears and worries were shed

    Ok! WOW. This is absolutley amazing.. Such a sad, heartbreaking story. But it was written so very beautifully. I honestly.. just, loved this. It brought tears to my eyes..

    A few things though :

    My eyes wants to cry [I think you should take the 's' off of 'wants'].

    "Yes I'm aware he says."

    ^ for this line.. I'm guessing that what you mean is that 'your dad' said.. ''Yes I'm aware''. So therefore, it should be written: "Yes I'm aware," he says. [that is if I'm right, I could be wrong :) ]

    But. anyways! This was just amazinggggg, dear.
