Is daddy Coming Home today?

by aisyned   Apr 10, 2007


Daddy is drunk i hear him come in,
i hide under the covers pretending I'm asleep,
but he yanks them off,
and i begin to weep,

he yanks me by my collar,
screams and calls me a very bad name,
he says that I'm useless a waste of oxygen,
i just cry and hang my head in shame,

smack!
there goes his first hit,
i fall to the floor,
i know I'm in for it,

he hits me again,
again and again,
moms at the store,
she can't hear me cry in pain,

He kicks me in my tummy,
i plead for him to stop,
my voice goes quiet,
even though I'm screaming for a cop,

I tell him that I'm story,
his eyes are stone cold and filled with fiery,
i try to crawl to the door,
filled up with tears my eyes become blurry,

he picks me up and slams,
i fall limp to the floor,
and he turns around,
heads straight for my door,

i slowly get up,
crying and holding my arm,
he was my daddy,
he wasn't supposed to cause me harm,

I limp to the kitchen,
i look for some ice,
i look at my daddy,
he called a friend and is playing dice,

i yell i hate him,
he's no longer my daddy,
i said if he cared,
he wouldn't cause me agony,

He stands up eyes full of hate,
i run to my room and lock the door,
i hear him pounding,
i go under my bed and lay on the floor,

Finally the door bursts open,
he slowly calls my name,
he said come on out baby girl,
my tears burst out like rain,

he checks in my closet,
then slowly bends down,
my eyes full of terror,
soaked in tears is my night gown,

he says peek a boo,
wearing an evil grin,
he says today my daughter,
you've committed a great sin,

i back up as far as i can,
he yanks me forward and strikes me again and again,
i plead daddy I'm sorry daddy daddy,
inside i ask god when will this end,

finally it's done,
and everyone i have one bruise,
i know when people ask,
he expects me to come up with an excuse,

why does he hit me,
if he loves me so much,
why every night when he comes back from the bar,
do i have to feel his cold angry touch,

Last night he took it too far,
mommy called the police,
they yelled at him to stop,
they said Mr. please seize,

after i lay paralyzed,
they took my daddy away,
even though he beat me,
i yelled for him to stay,

i don't care if he hits me,
i love him a lot,
i want my daddy back,
in a prison cell i don't want him to rot,

i yelled all this things,
but nobody listened,
i screamed as loud as i could through my beaten up lungs,
without my daddy my life is ruined,

mommy held me close that night,
she Say's it's going to be OK,
the only thing i asked,
is daddy coming back home today????
