hey there

darling girl

open up your eyes

and see the world

.

you've got such small

fingertips

and very blue eyes

and how strange something

so beautiful was created

from my lies.

.

little girl

what do you know?

see daddy's not good

and it's not like that show

you saw on tv

it won't get any better from

here on out

.

you've grown up

and made me proud

don't say it enough

it isn't allowed

in our line of work

it fight or flight

but you are the same

and you still face strife

.

but my baby girl

you are so old

i can feel you slip

from my hold

and I wish I could

undo

all the pain

you've been through

but i can't.

.

so i say sorry while i can

idek, Steph and Arthur Brown angst. it's two in the morning and I like writing Steph with daddy issues. it's Arthur's remorse case you didn't know
