Daddy Dear

by Alanna   Jan 11, 2006


You left me long ago
In the dark alone
You never even looked back
You tore my heart apart
Even before I could walk.
I do have to admit you taught me one thing,
Never trust in men
Especially ones who say they'll be your father.
I never found a reason to trust a father
And I have you to thank for that.

I grew up thinking,
That I wasn't good enough
To deserve a father.
So I never really did
And now that I'm grown I don't need one
I've learned on my own
To not trust the world of men
Only if you're sure they wont stab you.

It took me forever
Just to put my trust into my boyfriend
And it takes a lot for me to even trust him now
Because you left a scar that's invisible to eyes
But not to the ones who know my heart
Who know what you left behind,
An innocent child with a gift within.

You left a little girl
Lost and confused
Wondering what she did wrong.
To make her Daddy leave.

But Now I don't want anything to do with a father
There's no need for one now.
My friends are my family
My mother was the only one who stood by me
To raise me on her own.
You were never there.
To watch me grow.

So now I've grown without a father.
Without a Father's guidance
And I'm stronger than most.
And I never needed to look back
For you.
