Parents.

Dad:

You left so long ago.
She thought, how could this be so?
You need to be here.
I can’t stand for you not to be near.
Your little girl is crying out
Her eyes are tired of the tears.
From her secret fears
She cares so much
And misses him so.
So tell me. Why did he have to go?
What’s a girl without her dad.
When it’s all she ever wishes she had
When will the never-ending tears stop?
Why can’t he just come home?
Time goes by so fast
I will grow, and have a family of my own.
Will you see from heaven?
Wish you were here…
You would finally stop the tears.
Of my secret fears.
Such a funny thing she wishes.
Because…You left so long ago.


Mom:
I know what its like to feel so unwanted.
Whenever you look at me your face seems haunted,
Like you've never seen me before.
I just want to bolt to the nearest door.
I know you see me differently now.
I can make good choices, ill prove how.
I wish you were proud of me.
For something, anything.
Do you even want me around?
If not i'll be gone without a sound.
No ones perfect, we all make mistakes.
I know you think i follow laceys footsteps,
I can garuntee i don't.
I make my own path, astray from hers.
Im my own person.
I wish you could see.
Im not lacey, im just me.
I know what its like to feel so unwanted,
by someone who should love you unconditionally.
