Analysis of Why Did You Leave me Dad



Please help me Daddy. I have no where else
to go. I need you now more than I have ever
known. I am so lost and alone. Cant you
take me into your arms like you use to and
tell me, "Everythings alright, I'm here now
and I will never let you go." Please just
this once. Cant you do that for me dad?
Just for me. Help guide me; show me the way
I need to go. Wait! Where are you going?
Please dont leave me all alone on this
dark, dangerous road. I'm scared daddy; I
dont want to be alone. Why did you leave me?
Cant you come back, Please. I never left
you alone, now why are you doing it to me?
Why did you go? I need you now daddy, and
you just walk away? I just dont understand.
I thought you said you would never let me
go! Why did you leave me? I'm not ready
to face this cold, dark world alone. I love
you Daddy, please dont go.
