Can you hear me?
Would you want to, if you could?
I’m not even sure.
If you could feel my thoughts
As they cascaded across your skin
Then touched the numb depths of your heart
Would you think differently of me?
Would you love me then?
If I had been perfect
A child without blemish
Could I have found acceptance?
It seems unfair
That I love you so, and always will.
But this must go unreturned.
If you ever want me
I’m here.
And I’ll be waiting.
If ever you decide
Just remember
I’ll always be your daughter.
