Hiding from me ???

When I see a smile come to your beautiful lips, I wonder why ?

For whatever has brought it to life, will surly, in the end, make you cry.

As the painful blues turn to heartache gray, fill the skies,

I feel your pain, yet never touch the rain falling from your eyes,

and onto the edges of my heart, causing it to fall apart, to brake

as you hide from me, try to deal with the pain, try to make

it through another day, another day to exist for life’s sake

even though it will be at the expense of me ! I know it is fake,

yet, being in the know, I still feel and have to take

it all to heart, experience it all, personally, for

that is me, and I cannot help, but feel, you are closing the door,

closing it on me, in your inimitable way.

And so, in the deepest darkness, I pray

that we – you and me - can see the light,

stay away from, and never have to fight

that battle of, you keeping me from your sight

while I try to find, and do what is right.

Your happiness, my Dear Daughter, is my life !

Never is it my intention to cause you such strife.

Love, your sad, bad, dad.
