Was daddy always so cold?

by Black Heart Still Beating   Aug 22, 2009


Dad please listen to what i say
Did u alway used to be this way?
mad all the time?
sleeping when ur not?
where u fun once?
is that y mom stays?
hoping that u'll return to ur sweet ways?
you yell
you yell
you scream at me.
until i cry and you wont let me leave.
Daddy please wont u see?!
what all ur yelling does to me?
what about that boy?
hes only 9 years old.!
We didn't do anything to make u this cold.
We do all our course.
and u're never home.
but its better this way.
thats for sure.
no yelling at mom.
brother,
or me.
maybe next time you come home,
u'll be Happy to see us.
maybe u wont yell once.
maybe is hard and usual a lie.
but right now I'm going to stair at the sky
and just pretend that my daddy's from there,
an angle sent to protect our family
So daddy please i ask u be kind.
i need u to understand that I'm not leaving .
I'm always going to be around.
so daddy please keep ur voice down,
put the bottle away,
and maybe just maybe,
I'll be happy to see u stay.
