Babygirl
Babygirl,
I know things
Are goin’ wrong
But Babygirl
You gotta’ be strong
For Mama
For Daddy
And little Patty
Babygirl I know things aren’t goin’ well for you
And I’m sorry you’re blue
Patty has no idea
Mama’s really sad
And Daddy’s just walkin’ around
Lookin’ really mad
It’s a year later
And Babygirl you can’t take much more
Babygirl all I can tell you is to open
And second door
Babygirl I know things aren’t goin’ well for you
And I’m sorry you’re blue
Patty has no idea
Mama’s really sad
And Daddy’s just walkin’ around
Lookin’ really mad
Another year has slowly past
And it feels like you’ve been in a mask
Mama’s been cryin’ every minute
Patty doesn’t know
And Daddy’s just mad at the world
You wanna know how much grief this house has?
Let’s put it this way
It could fill the earth’s whole damn mass
Babygirl, this life aint for you
And I’m sorry you’re blue
You have to stay strong
And I know you did nothin’ wrong
I’m really sorry
Babygirl I know things aren’t goin’ well for you
And I’m sorry you’re blue
Patty has no idea
Mama’s really sad
And Daddy’s just walkin’ around
Lookin’ really mad
The other day I walked in her room
And found this behind a broom
Note: She says I must stay strong and that I didn’t do nothin’ wrong. I’m starting to think things in my mind that I would normally leave behind. My daddy has a gun or two and I can’t take much more. I will commit self destruction when I am 14. This is my second door. I’m going to say goodbye, I’ll see you on the other side.
I saw the date on the paper
I realized she was 14 today
I prayed to God not to let her go
I turned around—
But it was too late.
