A Daughter's Lament

A Daughter's Lament

A Poem by xkonstantine125x
"

This is about not being everything your father wishes you could be. just feeling like you are never good enough.

"

wish I could be your puppet,
just so I could make you smile.
Accomplish what you want,
and make it worth your while.

I sit here trying to write
what words cannot express,
the loneliness i feel,
and how there's guilt within my chest.

I know I've hurt you,
and that's what tears me up inside.
I wish we could talk it out,
but I feel it's better if I hide.

When you hug me you don't mean it,
and that's what hurts the most.
knowing that you fake it
I feel like I'm a ghost.

When I'm gone you won't miss me,
I see it in your eyes.
The eyes that once made me smile,
now seem to make me cry.

I'm sorry I'm not what you want.
I'm sorry I've let you down,
take whats left of me,
and throw my body on the ground.

Do whatever makes you happy,
make your dreams come true,
even if ends up killing..
...the love I have for you.

I hope when you kiss him you don't pretend it's me. I hope when he holds you, my scent doesn't strike a cord in your mind. I hope when he looks at you, you don't see my green eyes. Finally I hope, .. more..
