Is it so hard, to tell her your sorry
You never meant to hurt her
When your hand came at her face
Nothing more than a blur
She braced herself
A moment later came the sting
The burning sensation on her cheek
As if she had touched a burner
Was nothing compared to the hole in her heart
Each time the sting returned
Little peices of her heart were left floating
Like an iceburg breaking apart
After awhile there was nothing left
When the lights went out
And all was quiet
Her sobs could be heard
Down the hall
She no longer felt worthy of anything
For if she was he would not hit her
Nearly a year since the sting has been felt
The internal wounds have scabbed over
But not completely healed
Still she feels like little more than trash
On a city street
The least you could do is say
I'm sorry
Is it really so hard
To admit you were wrong?
Your little girl sits alone
Wondering
What have I done so horrible
That he felt the need to hit only me
Oh if he only knew
How awful that sting was
As if that wasn't enough
His words often made her feel so small
She wished she had never been born at all
Don't you remember her cries?
Daddy i'm scared of you
GOOD!
Was the only reply
You said you love her
Is that what the sting was meant to say?
Because all she heard was
He doesn't really love me at all
