love's gone

By: vicky lambie

I have watched the tears fall straight from her eyes
And that look that asks you, “please tell me why? “
I have seen her soul lost and her heart split in two.
I have heard her nightmares when she’s screaming for you.

Left wandering alone and not knowing which way to turn,
Only again in case she gets burnt.
Tormented by thinking she will do wrong
And punished for nothing- no fault of her own.

She’s only a baby, one I had with you.
How could you hurt her the way that you have?
With such evil and with such malice, the things you have done.
You wanted to hurt me and screw with my head.

Well, there you succeeded I want you to know.
Engraved in my mind till the day I die,
Will be that question hanging - why?
She has told me everything and always has and begged for my silence
‘Cause you were her dad...

You killed me outright one single night.
When I had to look in baby’s wet sad eyes
And hear her asking, “please, tell me why,
Why does my dad not love me anymore? “

Unlike you (and to spare her the pain,)
I made excuses for you again.
I gave her back hope that was what she longed for!!
Her big loving dad would return like before.

Well, I hurt her too, I can see that now,
I tried to give her all that she wanted.
Well, you’ve had every chance that you’ll ever get,
That I can say now and hold no regret.

Peace we’ll both have in our lives,
We have each other and show our love,
In a way you can only dream of.
Life has it way of coming back on you

For the nasty things that you do.
I feel for you now, honestly I do
It’s the reason I wrote this for you.
I wanted to give you some peace of mind,

For those moments alone you’ll have in your mind.
You need never wonder how she is,
I will always be there keeping her safe.
She’s the reason I live and breathe everyday,

She’s all of my life in everyway.
I will give my life and try my best
And will not accept anything less
on giving her… only my best.
