They say a father loves nothing more than his daughter

That he will protect and nurture her

Make sure she’s safe

Teach her how to be strong

At first I thought it was true

But then you abandoned me in this world

With nothing more

Than the hope I so desperately cling onto

That one day I’ll be near you again

Even if your words are hurtful

Or your tone is harsh

Anything would be better

That this neverending despair

Your words hurt me deeply

But your silence hurts even more
