A Daughter's Prayer

My tears are hideous
Im not authorized
To cry before you
If I cant formulate
Even an agony
Upon your arms
Papa, please understand.

I am not stubborn
Its how I pretend,
Inside me -
I zeal
For a father\'s love.

With my eyes, I see it
I failed you
But I didnt.
My infancy
Maybe gone now
And I cant
Play with you
Anymore.

Papa, Im still
Your lil\' girl.
