Reflection of a Daughter's Love

“Reflection of a Daughter’s Love”

Every time I turn around
another wing is shot down
Upon the breath of life
the witless dove cries
Break me down
hurt me until I can hurt no more
For eventually it will be redundant
A slap for breakfast
Punches for lunch tomorrow
Verbal lashings in between
now and never
my soul will cry
Innocence seems lost long ago
memories are no more in existence
yesterday has come and gone
hope for tomorrow,
Looking back will redeem
But no matter,
where will you turn when turning becomes insistent?
One could cry for eternity,
and never be heard
So, the question is,
where were you when I needed you most?
While my heart broke in my chest,
were you gallivanting into the pale moonlight?
A shadow on the grave,
upon a snowy evening
I wonder
Did you ever once care?
My needs seem broken in compare
I watched you
day after day
idolizing you with everything I had
And then,
one fine day
you were gone
Together you left on separate plains
one here, one there
while I’m left behind
treading in your shadows
Which path to take?
A road to lead with much responsibility
The motivational thing is,
you never left
my heart,
what’s left of it
holds both entities as one
Feelings of loneliness only happen occasionally,
Because I know,
no matter which road I will lead
my love for you
my memories of you
they grow stronger each day
With each passing second,
it becomes easier to breathe,
…again
