My Daughter

What exactly have I done so wrong? I’ve listened to her cries and her pleas I tried to understand all of her needs, hopes and dreams Yet as time goes on she continues hating me Not trusting in my love Not believing in our friendship How can I remind her so she’ll remember? Why has she left me all alone? I’ve always talked and cried with her I’ve laughed and joked around I’ve shared my secrets with her and all of my feelings But as she get older she wants to leave, run away so to speak Never turning back, not even a blink Will I ever see her again? Where has my daughter gone? She’s hiding behind the teenage smoke screen Rather be lonely then come back to me I have to be the parent which she doesn’t like Sorry if this she can’t see I can’t seem to change her mind How can I tell her I love her, and have her believe? I there any chance to help our relationship to survive? I’ve given her my heart and my soul But she don’t seem to care anymore The closeness we once had seems to have died, in a couple of weeks’ time It’s a possibility she may one day forgive Allowing are anger, pride and hurt to go away, not holding a grudge for things that are not my fault Will she ever accept my apologies?
