FROM BIANCA BATTIPAGLIA (DAUGHTER)
Waves
Hey dad, what do I do?
Everything reminds me of you and
It’s only been a couple days since
I found out you’re no longer with us
It hurts so bad but I gotta keep strong
I’m your daughter after all
It’s getting harder to sleep
I thought I was okay this morning but
This shit comes in waves
I keep reminiscing
What has time taken from us?
All I have are memories and it’s not even the same
I fucking miss you dad
We never had a chance to have a good bond
It’s my mistake for thinking life would keep going on
And all it did was stop right in its tracks
I’m thinking of the father daughter dance
They played that one song and we danced
If only God could put me back in that place
I would hold you extra close and feel your warm embrace
Why did it have to end this way?
Your life was cut short and I will get revenge on time for who it has stolen from me
Fuck dad, we have to make preparations
Your funeral is in a week and I just can’t believe it
I almost don’t wanna go but I’m gonna because
I told you I’d always be here even when you give no response
You are my daddy and I know things were hard but I’m so proud you made it this far
You are my angel now in heaven above
I hope you’re happy now and surrounded by love
That’s all you ever wanted and this life was too much
You had a broken heart nobody could mend up
No matter the mistakes you made in this life, they don’t count
When all I have are pictures now and time I won’t get back
I would erase all the bad things and make them anew
It’s too late now and I’m bargaining again
I really just want you here dad and this wound is never gonna heal
I’m gonna pass your age one day and I don’t know how to feel
You’re never gonna see me get married and that’s all I’ve been thinking of
Hopefully you’ll see from heaven above
Please watch over me, my guardian angel, I need you more than ever now that your body and soul have lost connection
Give me a sign that you are alright
Just please stay by my side
Because this shit comes in waves
Not the kind I’m gonna ride
I need a big ship to get me through the night
Oh keep me afloat dad please don’t let me sink
Now go towards the light and go gain your wings
We will meet again dad, it will all be okay
Please wait for me until that day.
