Why are you going away? <br />Is it because of something I did? <br />Or a mistake I made. <br />Daddy don’t go, <br />Please don’t leave me alone, <br />What will mama say? <br />When she would see you like this? <br />Drunk, beaten, accepting <br />For something you didn’t do? <br />Oh daddy, please don’t go, <br />I’ll be good; I will never bother you, <br />And if you wish, <br />I would do all chores too…………… <br />But even when I plea this much, <br />Hurt I am inside me, <br />My small eyes awash with tears, <br />Ones you don’t wipe away, <br />My small heart is terrified, <br />Oh daddy! Why did you lie? <br />Let me paint those rosy forever’s, <br />Of you and me, <br />When you knew <br />Someday they would break, <br />In millions of tiny pieces, <br />Of my cherished dream, <br />Oh daddy, I would forget, <br />I once loved you, <br />I would castrate my heart <br />For beating for your affection, <br />I guess it’s all then <br />Before your dreams, <br />My love never stood a chance, <br />Its goodbye dad, <br />Look I am not crying, <br />I am not even mad, <br />It’s all just sad, <br />So sad, <br />When my heart breaks, <br />“Goodbye kiddo” you say, <br />And without watching back, <br />You walk away. <br /> * <br />Four years have passed away <br />A Bugati stops at the door of orphanage, <br />A man walks out, <br />With rich, successful gait, <br />Walks inside, <br />Asks for something <br />He had lost so long ago, <br />They take him to a place, <br />A city of crosses, <br />Where people remain buried inside, <br />Below the cross, <br />Beneath the snow, <br />The man kneels, <br />He breaks down, <br />He can’t even cry, <br />Can’t even try, <br />And a voice rings, <br />Inside his head, <br />A deep buried poison sings, <br />“Hello daddy, we meet again, <br />Look here how it’s all changed, <br />It’s all the destinies we made, <br />So you are alive, <br />And pardon me, <br />I am dead”, <br />The man sits there all day, <br />Gazing at the headstone <br />And evening comes, <br />The Bugati races far away……………………….<br /><br />Lucifera Santez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/irony-53/
