Little girl
I wish I could take your pain away
I wish you didn't project onto me
I have stayed by your side
Picked up every broken piece
Your angst is understanding
He left you with me
Your sadness is uncontrollable
Never grasping how he could be so cruel
Haven't seen him in years
This is what you are now accustomed to
I wish a different life for you
I wish I would have made better choices
I'm sorry you are a reflection of him
The good and the bad
It's difficult understanding yourself
When you don't know how to name it
Abandonment is heavy
I sit with you through it
Vowing to try my best
I wish you could see what I see
He didn't measure up to the greatness inside of you
Please don't push me away with your anger
I want to hold and love you tight
Once my little girl
Now just a mere gleam in my eye
Angry words and looks continue to be the norm
Just know that I will be here for you while you weather through your own personal storm
