His Only Child

Wrote this in mind of my father & I. I am basically a split image of him, but he's normally not involved in my life because he has his fair share of problems, so yeah, hope you like =] She smiles just to hide the tears The ones streaming down her face She lies just to make everything seem okay. She's dying inside As she desperately hides Her feelings are kept away. He can't seem to help her now He's hopeless and wonders how The one he loved got so sick and now There's no where to run son. She's lost all direction. There's no way to save her from The darkness she has become. And through all the days He wishes this was a dream A fairytale locked away An ending that had a good name He fell down so hard He knew she'd be so proud Of everything he endowed For her, his only child The clock ticks ten and goes Her sadness builds and shows Through her sparkling eyes With every tear she cried He'd beat himself down, yell a lot louder, wished he'd come home. to let her know she wasn't alone. He's right there beside her The breathing gets louder The words come out faster And now the end has come to say That she was That she is and always will be His only child.
