Daddy
Silently waiting,
My face against the floor,
Sweating and anticipaiting,
His beating I'd take once more.
The love I had for him was strong,
Respect for him? I had none,
I think of how he had done me wrong,
And said, "This time I am done."
Although I had said that before,
I planned to get away,
I was packed and walking out the door,
But something was in my way.
Standing there with a loaded gun,
I saw a tear role down his face,
He said I'm sorry for the pain I caused you,
My heart began to pace,
I didnt know what else to do,
I closed my eyes and took a breath,
I thought this was the end for me,
He ended my pain with his death,
And now my eyes could see.
