Dear daddy...

Dear daddy, can I ask you a question?
Why does mummy cry?
Her steps falter in a weird direction
Her breathing shakes as she gives a sigh

The tears swallow her whole,
Her body shakes like the ride we went on at the theme park
Her eyes are permanently red like her soul
I feel like my world has gone dark

Why daddy,
Why did you do this?
Is this because I was bad?
I remember when you greeted us with a morning kiss
But now that memory just makes me feel sad

I know other girls don't have their dad,
And although you left us
Yes, I may feel sad
But I won't make a fuss

Now, i must go daddy
Mummy is calling for bed
So I end this letter saying 'Love Maddy'
I just hope this letter is read
