• I lie awake at night waiting for you to come for me
    I look up down the street but I don't see you daddy
    I call you on the phone... no one is there
    a little 12 year old girl left with a blank stare.

    another weekend lost sitting on the porch
    cars pass day by day the girl has nothing to say
    mummy when is daddy coming to get me? She asked
    her mom just stared and faked a slight laugh
    soon baby girl she says with a sad look in her eyes
    next day dad doesn't show no big surprise.

    The little girl comes in from the porch and starts to cry
    she screams “mummy I want to die!”
    Daddy doesn't love me daddy doesn't care
    this all too much to bare.

    dad shows up a weak later to give his child support check
    the mom comes to the door in tears
    dad look up in confusion as the mother pulls him in the house
    the little girl is lying on the bed quiet as a mouse
