Daddy's Little Girl Poem by Autum Foster

Daddy's Little Girl

Rating: 5.0


A fartherly figure my young life did lack,
Now for some reason, you thought you'd come back,
Tell me the truth, daddy, do you even care?
Tell me the truth, daddy, why were you never there?
All the broken promises, the love you never gave,
All the lies you told me, daddy, you'll take them to your grave,
There was only so much a child could take,
You told me you'd never make the same mistake,
Remember, daddy, remember your son?
With him was how this all begun,
You want him to forgive you, daddy? But he never will,
You'll never, ever admit the blame, your words are over-kill,
I guess I never told you, daddy, how I feel inside,
You broke my heart when I was four, emotions couldn't hide,
I know you didn't love me, daddy, I know you didn't care,
Otherwise you'd tell me, daddy, why you wern't there,
You told me you'd never make the same mistake twice,
Hand on my heart, daddy, grips like a vice,
As for you not making that same mistake,
I guess the truth will be hard to take,
You said you didn't want to loose me,
But, wait, daddy, can't you see?
The hurt that I try not too show,
Daddy... You lost me a long time ago.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I can identify with this at least a little. It is very good and it tells it like it is. When a parent leaves your life early on and then tries to come back after you've grown up enough to think for yourself, it just sometimes doesn't work. You can't automatically give love to someone who wasn't there to build it with. Thank you so much for this poem.10+++++ -Autumn
