A Daughter's Lament

Tomorrow I thought
I'll do it tomorrow
After all, time was there
Years it has been since we've seen each other
But with us it was always so

 

Family members never understood why I loved you
Or stuck up for you
And I couldn't explain it was because
Because of who you were
I could explain away your absecences
By what you did do for me, for us

 

Even so, it hurt
Knowing I had your name
And your face
But not your heart

 

I'd like to think you loved me
But even now at this moment
I don't know if you did

 

Even in your final time
There's hurt, and not only because your gone
Simply because it appears you spared no thought for me
Or at least your family didn't
The who isn't as important as the result
I suppose

 

So I'll just shed my tears
And rue the choices, good and bad
That we both made
And the fact that tomorrow never came

 

So good-bye my father
I just hope, wherever you are
You know I did love you
