Anger!
Why is she not here?
Why didn't she come?
I tried to tell you,
but you did succumb,
to the old days, the old lies.
No compromise!
I felt it was unjust
I felt you did not trust
us.
What about your daughter,
don't you think she oughta..
be there too...
is it always about you?
You didn't want to hear
how hard it was to be near
that feeling of blame?
I think it is such a shame.
You lose.
You choose
to deny,
you make up the lie.
The deception
no reception for her.
That is why,
she stayed away
and maybe one day
she will return.
But do not spurn
her!
