I do not exist

         I do not exist
I left her ten years ago,
Watching her from secret,she shall never know.
I see her smile from a distant everyday,
I know she is safe for her to stay.
My life has been so hard these days,
It was because I was married to a craze.
I know she is hurting inside,
I wish I could tell her that I'm alive.
If I did ,I knew she would be dead,
I'm away to keep her safe and unread.
I'm the one she searches for,
 One day I will open that  door.
For now I do not exist,
If Her father knew,she would be first on his list.
He could never know that we are alive,
We just want to live and survive.
Maybe one day we will be reunited again,
For now we don't know when.
Soon I will tell my daughter the truth,
About why I left her at her youth.
She is always on my mind,
Just wish I could tell her I'm fine.
I know she is ok,staying with my mom and dad,
They know my secret ,and I'm so glad.
My secret is safe with them,
My parents will take care of my daughter gem.
Now I must move on,
To walk alone until dawn.
