Buried Deep

A loved one, a child, missing and missed
Memories of her father's half-forgotten kiss
Faded with a past buried in dirt
Muffled cries replacing his laughter, his mirth
Guided forward, unknowing, she walks away
3 years old, asking why daddy didn't stay
Told lies, that ahead she'll see him again at last
Lies to send her away, leaving daddy, her buried past.
