Daddy's Little Girl

by deeplydesturbed   Sep 14, 2017


I miss you like the stars miss the moon
on the darkest of the months night
I miss you like a hungry animal
who has just lost his food in a wild fight
I miss you like the dried out dessert misses rain
and there isn’t a single fluffy cloud in site

Daddy you’ve always been here
when I’ve seemed to need you most
Daddy I’m sorry I’m selfish now
while you’re visiting a different coast
daddy please come home to me, I’m sinking
I can’t seem to stay afloat
Daddy, I'm begging you now
Even if you need to take a boat

I may be twenty seven
But at heart I’m still your “daddy’s little girl”
I’m still the apple of your eye
in this big horrendous world..

    No matter how much we grow, we are always little in the eyes of our parents.

    My mother calls me everyday that I am taking my diet properly or not.

    Nams, I don't know the reason why your daddy is far from you and seriously I don't wanna ask.
    Such questions are sensitive just as this poem of yours, but I hope and pray that he should come back soon to his little gal.

      Lucifer - Dad is on a vacation in the USA with my Nanna (his mum) visiting family while they still can together.. he is there for a total of 3 weeks in Hawaii and 3 in Dallas, Texas, then home for 3 days, before they bth spend 2 weeks in the Phillipines. So, It isnt anything bad.

      Thank you for reading :)

    Heartfelt, heart-breaking and very well written, Naomi. I hope you are okay, despite the content of this poem which points to the contrary somewhat.

    All the best as ever,
    Ben
