a very dear friend wrote this when she was 14 years old she shared it with me almost 5 years ago and i keep it and read it every few months
and with her permission i share with you
than you for shareing Eve
Daddy's Legacy
Daddy bought me pretty dresses
and he gave me songs to sing.
Daddy taught me pretty stories
from his vast imaginings.
He told me tales of princesses
with bourbon on his breath.
So cold to pledge his steadfast love
while deciding on his death.
He slashed his wrists down to the bone,
Settled for the cowards road.
Abashed, I made my way alone,
small shoulders bore the load.
The shadow of his death that day
became my unsought fame.
An endowment that has no release,
dishonor was my name.
So I'll toast my father's many gifts,
His bequest of love belied.
But his most telling legacy,
was his ****ing suicide.
