Letter To My Daughter Part I
With or without you
Now I am faced
Abundant emptiness
Loss of my faith
How can I continue
Live as it’s normal
Your presence away
My spirit before you
The first of many
You’ll always remain
The memories, flashbacks
Drive me insane
How does one come
To terms with a loss
A child was here
Then next she was gone
My life will not ever
Be the same as before
My brain running rapid
My thoughts insecure
If only a word, could be spoken again
If only a hug, could replace upon sins
I’d cherish each moment
As I did before
But knowing you’re leaving
Would warn me before
With or without you, I must now decide
Can’t help but be hurt
Tears to my eye
With or without you, I must now be strong
Your family is hurt
Though you were not wrong
Left in the cold
Now I reside
Sleepless at night
Awake to realize
You’ll never be back
No more of your smile
No more of your laugh
No more of your style
I must not be grudge you
Though truthfully hurt
My love will not falter
Or a skip any word
I write you today
Because you are missed
Please come home to Dad
For never won’t give
I’ll never give up
Never forget
My daughter is gone
Why did I live?
