How Do I Say Goodbye How do I say goodbye... To someone who's been with me for my whole dang life? Dad why'd you leave me for the stars? You stabbed me in the back with a knife I was your little princess My tiny fingers wrapped around yours And now I'm going through something I've never been through before Where are you dad? You seem so far away Maybe in another world You would have been able to stay I thought I'd always be your little girl Someone you'd always protect Now I'm left defenseless And I feel like I've been wrecked I love you dad and I need you with me right now Protect me from these horrible boys Why were my tears something you would allow? Our memories leak out from the corner of my eyes And I know I'm only 11 But I beg of you death, take my empty withered soul Can I join my dad in heaven? Whenever I break into a hundred pieces I imagine you right by my side But it's not the same... it never will be I've tried to let you go, I promise I've really tried Come back dad, I need you to save me I don't want an empty seat at my wedding It'll be my big day, and I'll want to be happy But the stupid tears wouldn't stop shedding Mom's crying again She pretends she's so strong But there's boulders crashing down on her She's been waiting on you for so long Can you see me dad; are you proud of me? Are you watching me from the sky? It's been two years but I can't let you go I don't know how to say goodbye poem inspired by the song "how do i say goodbye" by dean lewis
note: my dad is not deceased, but i wrote this for the people who had to go through this... you guys are so strong. i love you people, and i wish you the best. i know they see you from heaven, and they're so proud of you luv. <3
