Dear Daddy,
I love you; tell me you love me to.
Daddy I miss you.
I only wish you’d love me to.
When I was I was a little girl, you promised you’d never lie.
When that itself was a lie.
Every night I cry, because you told me a lie.
Sometimes I want to die, because of all the lies.
I wish you could hear my cries.
So that you’d stop the lies.
One minute you were there, the next, you were gone.
You left me and mom.
And that was really dumb.
But beyond all the lies, I still love you.
So please come back and tell me you love me too.

The author's comments:
When I was about 8 years old (7 years ago) my dad left, he was having an affair, although he talks to me occasionally, it hurts to see him with his other children and in fact, sometimes i feel he loves them more, I was his first child and I miss being his little princess. I was a daddy's girl. but i won't go in to detail. (THANKS FOR READING!)
