"Mother and Father"

Mother looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

Am I the girl you've

Always known?



Father looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

How could your daughter

Look so alone?



Mother looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

Have i been left out

On my own?



Father looking at me

Tell me what do you see?

A girl who's parents hearts

Have turned to stone?



Mother and Father

Looking at eachother

Tell me what do you see?



A life once lost

Daughter caught in middle

Dont care about the cost?



Mother and Father

Looking at eachother

Tell me what do you see?



Two seperate places

Seemingly surrounded

By the same old faces?



Mother and Father

Again look at me

Tell me, now what do you see?



A withered flower?

A dying girl?

A fallen tower?

A shattered world?



Mother and Father

Looking at me

Tell me what do you see?



Try to remember

What you had said.

You told me forever

That it would never end.



Tell me now what

DO YOU SEE?

Am I even there?

Why arent you looking at me?
