Why’d You Leave Me?

Daddy, love

This mark you’ve left upon my heart,

It’s more than just in open wound,

It’s gushing blood,

And I feel doomed,

Doomed to die slowly, painfully,

All the way internally

Daddy dear,

Why'd you leave me?

I’m not grown up,

I’m just a kid,

Not even thirteen,

Just considered a “tween”

Daddy,

It’s almost been two years,

And for you I’ve shed,

Daddy,

I know it’s not your fault,

You didn’t mean to leave,

Daddy, please don’t feel guilty

For just abandoning me,

I know you had no say in this,

It was just your time to go,

But daddy,

Still--

You died and left me here,

The blood pouring from me-

In an endless flow
