I still love you
Daddy gave me another bruise today, his eyes
Were full of hate when I turned up to say, "I still
Love you" so I turned away…
I watched him silently through the shadow of the
Door, shrinking away when his bottle hit the floor,
"I still love you," but he didn't care anymore.
Daddy now, he's just not the same, ever since mama
Died he seemed to just go insane, "I still love him"
And I feel his pain.
If I look back I could remember that day, when mama's
Eyes danced and daddy hugged me to say, "I still love you"
It seems so far away…
Now when he gets home he looks strait through me, doesn't
See the princess that I use to be, "I still love him." why can't
He see?
Then one night he came home while I was asleep
On the floor, he yanked me up and shoved me in
The door, "I still love you" then I heard no more.
Unlike before this time I didn't fight, I just let him
Beat me with all his might "I still love you" maybe the
Time was right.
"Daddy," I sobbed, but my voice cracked, I was covered
With bruises up and down my back, "I still love you…"
He looked at me with sadness filling his eyes, "what have
I done!" came his desperate cries.
"Daddy, I still love you."
So now he knows but 'nows' too late, when life turns you
Never know your fate, "I'll always love you…"
Like a flower folds I curl up to die, ready to leave this world
With my final cry, "I still love you."
He's sobbing now, tears falling on my cheek, just before I
Fade I hear him speak. "Baby, I'm so sorry! Baby I love
You!" I want to answer but I feel so weak…
I faintly smile at the words I so longed to hear, yet,
Why tell me now with the end so near? "I still love
You…"
"Goodbye daddy…"
