Daddy why are you home so late <br />You promised earlier hours <br />You smell of alcohol and sadness <br />Why can't I help you? <br />Why do I anger you so much? <br />I thought you loved me... <br /> <br />Daddy why do you throw so hard <br />The bruises hurt a little <br />But they eventually go away <br />Why do you keep lying? <br />What makes you so depressed? <br />I thought you loved me... <br /> <br />Daddy why are you gone for days <br />The family needs you <br />We worry about you <br />Who are you with when you leave us? <br />Why are they stealing you away? <br />I thought you loved me... <br /> <br />Daddy why did you leave us <br />Broken promises one by one <br />Broken hearts are all thats left <br />You think you're the only one that hurts? <br />You think you're the one who's lost people? <br />I thought you loved me... <br /> <br />Daddy what happened to you <br />You're tied up to machines <br />And saying how important we are to you <br />Is this the last time you'll breathe today? <br />Will that bed be your last? <br />I thought you loved me... <br /> <br />Daddy why are you in a jar <br />The doctors broke their promise <br />Your limbs failed <br />What made you so miserable? <br />Why were you in so much pain? <br />Daddy... I thought you loved me...<br /><br />Brittany Marsh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-62/
