PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Oh, how I wish I could dam up my heart.

Then you couldn't hurt me ever again.

If I could dam up my heart,

Don't you think I would have done it by now?

I pretend it doesn't hurt when you choose them over me.

After all I'm only your daughter.

Why should you worry about me?

I'll get over it.

I always have.

If only I could stop caring

Caring about what you do or say.

But I can't.

Believe me I've tried.

So go on live your life.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

I know you won't, you never will.

But you will never know, I swear.

You'll never know how much it hurts.

To live day by day

Without you.

Never knowing where you are,

Or whether you even care about me at all.
