Daddy, am I pretty?

"Daddy, daddy look at me!"
She laughed and twirled around
Dressed up in her dress-up clothes.
Daddy didn't make a sound. 

"Daddy, daddy look at me."
She told him once again.
"Daddy, am I pretty?" 
Asked she, feeling empty within. 

"Yes." said daddy flatly
Though look he never did.
She ripped off all the clothes,
Ran to her room and hid.

Daddy never came 
To ever see if she was fine. 
In her floor she laid.
All she could do was cry. 

Daddy didn't love her;
She knew that in her heart.
It's not right for a five year old
To feel broken, torn apart. 

Although too many years have passed 
The story's still the same.
I called only when I needed him
But daddy never came.

Now my dreams are haunted 
With that broken little girl
And her horrid misconception of
The best daddy in the world. 
Sometimes all you need is a good cry and your tears become ink for the pen called writers block. (It makes sense. Don't think too hard. If it doesn't, I've not slept in the past few days and ran out of coffee.)
