Daddy’s Little Girl

You left me so long ago,
How am I supposed to love a person I barely know?
I don’t hate you,
But, I don’t love you,
I don’t know how to love you.
It may sound wrong, but I barely think of you.
As a little girl I cried and listened to all your promises,
I’m almost 18 and when tears start to form,
I swallow them.
There’s no need for crying now.
When I hear your name I don’t wince or frown.
I’m emotionless, all the happiness from my heart is drained.
I’ve learned, a little girls tears are nothing more than dreams and wishes being washed away.
There’s only one thing I’ve ever wanted in this whole wide world,
And that was for you to hold me,
And tell me,
I’m daddy’s little girl
