I want to be that child again

The one that was never loved

I want to tell him how it felt

When I looked to him for love.

He should know how it felt

To be greeted with his scowl

He should feel the pain he caused

I was only his only child.

I grew up in the way

A thing that must be fed

I grew up despite him

He’s forever in my head

My arms would reach up to him

Hoping for just one smile.

Hoping he would reach for me

And hold me close to him.

I would kiss his whiskered face

And tell him how I felt

Tell him he should love me

As I always thought he should

Tell him I’m just little and

How I count on him.

Perhaps it would melt his heart

He then take care of me

To know at last he loves me

I could run and play

Never have to worry

His love would find a way
