Daddy Quote by Anonymous
“~Dad how could you leave me here by myself? since the first day you left me theres been this space i've been so desperately trying to fill no one understands anymore and these cuts are the only way I numb the pain I feel I found a way to fill the space but its only temporary they cant erase the pain i've been thru you said I'll always be your baby dad. what did I do? these boys cant take the insecurities you caused no matter what they do or say you were supposed to be here daddy to take the hurt away I just want everything to be like it was before you decided it was easier to leave before you forgot all the things you promised before your DRUGS meant more to you than me I just wish this would all stop. I wish I could make it all okay I cant forget 18 years ago I still blame myself I should've made you stay but you should have known better I would never have wanted you to go you were my protector daddy you werent supposed to hurt me you were supposed to be my HERO but you did hurt me dad and you cant take it bact it'll never be the same. < 3”
