Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

Thank you, what I had in mind is the father hurt the daughter unintentionally, and feels regretful, but you can look at it in different ways. Once again thanks for the comment

The regret felt in this poem is powerful. I feel this stems from something the father failed to do? Failed to protect? 

It's heartbreaking and expressive. 10/10.

fuck this is sad. i can really feel the regret the father is feeling. makes me wonder what happened to get him to that point.
