You give me kisses
You give me hugs
daily
to make up
for all the lost years
But I back away
Is that despondence in your eyes?
Is that pain?
It is hard to see in those dark black eyes of yours.
I feel at ease
to know that you are in pain
makes this suffering
more tolerable
Now come to me
and tell me what is wrong
so I can tell you
my heart aches
I am trying to teach you how to be a mother
with my confidence
of knowing your hurt
and it looks like
it is so much for you to take in
I would like to remind you
that I am your daughter
dont be afaid of me
although I am growing up
I am afraid of you
I am so disconnected
because I dont know
you
