Soft wind gently caress
the face of the one I love
whisper gently to her
my heart's yearning
its deep burning
'cause I'm missing her dear
Sweet pure dove
Is distance my test?

Stare deep into your eyes. What are you thinking? Your smile does not reach your eyes. How are you feeling? A confusing mix of emotions surge, and I instinctively want to protect your scarred and bleeding heart. 'Cause I see a sad girl crying, in the lonesome hours of the night, deep in your soulful wells, a bittersweet spirit, you try to hide. Then I see a boy mirrored in your orbs. Fear and uncertainty in his eyes, yearning for love and affection. Hurt, bleeding badly and in tears.

Daddy

Daddy, why did you leave the door open?
Are you coming back soon?
The rain's pouring in, daddy,
but I'll wait for you.

You are coming back soon. Right?

Its been years, daddy, and the door's still open.
Though my heart feels frozen,
a tear slides down every now and then.
Where are you when I need you, daddy dear?

On Father's Day my friends laugh and giggle,
thinking of their surprises, while my tears trickle.
Empty, so empty when you went away,
just the painful silence on this happy Father's Day.

I envy my friends their happy family,
why can't I have it too?
Lock my heart and lose the key,
have I been played the fool?

Please daddy,
come back and make everything right,
full of laughter, joy and love,
tuck me in bed and kiss me good night.

Written for you, whose home is so empty, and for me.
smiles.
genuinely.
