Your Only Gift
I hate you dad.
I lied when I said I didn't.
I lied when I said I was ok.
I thought that I could keep it together,
But my strength wavers.
I tried to be the bigger person,
But I am just a child.
All the scars,
I have to bear,
Weigh heavy.
I watch other little girls with their fathers,
And I envy them.
They don't know how lucky they are.
All I wanted was your love.
But you gave me nothing but pain.
