Daddy's Girl?

We used to be

So close and now we’re not

The space between us

Is getting bigger and bigger

everyday.

Feels like I’ve been

Keeping my feelings in for

a long time.

I still may not understand

Why you left when I was younger

But you came back into

my life.

I used to be daddy’s little girl

And now I’m not

Before I left for school Fridays

Were our days together just you and I

We actually talked when it was

just us two.

Since I left for school

We don’t even talk or text

I had surgery a few days ago

And the last time we spoke was

the day after.

Not one call or text since then

Asking “how are you feeling?”

I feel like our relationship

Barely existed like you treat me

Like an ugly stepdaughter

God forbid if anything happened

To me makes me wonder if you

Would even actually care.

I don’t feel like I have a father

Especially since my mother basically

Raised me my whole life

And at the end of the day

She’s always there
