Daddy's Little Girl

How could you do that,
to someone so young?
A helpless little girl,
forced on the run.
Each night she prayed,
for just one night.
That you wouldn't come home drunk,
and decide to pick a fight.
But on this night,
you kept your routine.
Got drunk at the bar,
and started to get mean.
You arrived home,
and walked through the door.
Screaming her name,
as she dropped to the floor.
As you approach more drunk than ever,
you pick her up by the neck of her sweater.
Blaming her,
for all the pain in your life.
you slam her against the wall,
without thinking twice.
Relieved from anger,
after the fight.
you look at the ground,
with your eyes so wide.
Your little girl,
down on the floor.
You can't help but look,
at the crime your just endured.
Motionless & lifeless,
without any breath.
You take a step back,
to look at your mess.
Taking a second,
to get in control.
You look for your shovel,
and start digging a hole.
