Four years old with my back to the door
she still remembers standing at the foot of the bed listening to her mothers coughs as they slow to a shattering hault
All I could hear was the family war
her father standing by the fresh grave, his face utterly expressionless
You're selfish hands always expecting more
his hands that once held her now trace the words and shapes onto her back
Am I your child or just a charity ward
the needle pushes into her skin, the words now permanent
You have a hollowed out heart
his reasearch consumes him, he grows ill
But it's heavy in your chest
she tried so many times to leave
I try so hard to fight it
but too many she found her father face down on the floor in a pool of his own blood and vomit clutching a picture of her mother.
But it's hopeless
time after time she helped him to his feet only for his hand to come down hard across her face.
Hopeless
she soon became depressed, she cut herself off from the world.
Oh father
she showed no emotion as he puts more ink into her skin.
Please father
she sits through the old needles, the sickening ink and all the infections that come with it
Oh father
she had prayed for salvation, a last hope, and it came to her in the form of a man...
Please father For the love of a daughter
years later she stands at his grave
And you can't take back
she cant even say one decent thing about her father
What we never had
so she says nothing
she only thinks back to a single memory
Don't you remember
"riza! get in here"
I'm your baby girl
"yes father" she looks up at him his hair is too long his face goes unshaven
Don't you remember
"its time for more sit" she sits on a stool as he lifts the back of her shirt.
I'm your baby girl
she feels the needle peirce her skin, she jumps at the pain
So young when the pain had begun
"dammit! Riza! dont move"
Oh father
tears fill her eyes "yes fa-father"
Please father...
23 years pass... she stnads at his grave once again
I'd love to leave you alone
she stands again thinking back on the memory
But I can't let you go
she falls to her knees and the tears spill
Oh father
she is caught by a pair of strong arms
Oh father
she burried her face in his shoulder
Please father
"its ok riza im here"
oh father
she smiles up to him "Thank you. roy?"
For the love of a daughter
"yes riza"
For the love of a daughter
she looked up at the setting sun "its a horrible day for rain"
he looks at her "it sure is isnt it?"
