My 4th Birthday So ecstatic and sweet Daddy called that day At 3 we'd meet
"Hey there! Happy Birthday, Lauryn!" "Hi Daddy! Will you been here soon?"
"At 3. Be ready." "Promise?" "Of course sweetie!"
"Okay. Bye Daddy!" "Bye!" I pushed the phone back to mom Ran to my room, but not to cry
I got ready And waited by the door Starting very soon, I slept on the floor
At exactly 3 Daddy yet to come or call I patiently waited Leaning against a wall
Eager to see him I wandered by the window 'twas 9 o' clock on the evening To dinner, I said no
"What if Daddy comes While I'm eating?" I was then ignored Taking a brutal beating
My kitty The perfect pillow I sleep right next to the door Still Daddy never showed
The very next day I ventured in my room Never thinking It'd assist in my emotional doom
You'd be there At 3 You promised And lied to little me
I never knew I'd still remember How you left And came back never
Now I possess another wish That I didn't care in the first place That I never knew you Or had seen your face
You changed me That particular day I grew up The little girl vanished, never to stay
Your One lie Broke your little girl Her entire lifetime
