What If...

What if you had stayed

What if you cared

What if you visited

What if you came back

I spend hours each day wondering

What if

What if I was a good enough daughter for you

What if you had loved me from birth

What if you had stayed even a little longer

What if the drugs didn't take you away

I spend sleepless nights crying

I cry out for my father

The one that didn't stay

I cry out for the man that was supposed to love me from that day

You were supposed to be there for me

No matter what happened

Instead you left me

Wondering 

What if...
