Little girl in my arms turned eight months three days ago Pretty green eyes that cried when I scolded her Married thirteen years, I loved my wife and my job Three perfect daughters I did not deserve She took them away, said I had grown cold They found another life with a new daddy to love I tried to see them but days past they grew away Gave them my heart, they took the life from me I watched their life - two months after they had gone Followed patterns - she went running in the morning And made my plans - I'll take fear from their eyes Daddy is at the door Don't be afraid Just let me in Everything is fine Her smile shattered - "Daddy why do you have a gun?" Gut shot painless - I know the others will soon wake Through the hallway - nine year old died in her bed Master bedroom - the baby stirs in her crib Your green eyes Cry no more My baby girl Dies in my arms You don't have to be afraid anymore My tears drop on her bloody face She will never have to be afraid The cops found my body laying in bed Eight-month-old baby dead in my lap You don't have to be afraid anymore...
