How a Daughter Should
Tired of trying,
Tired of lying,
Tired of hearing it's not your fault,
Stop stalling,
Stop calling,
Every missed text,
Every missed message,
Do not reply it's not worth her time,
It's not worth the energy,
You dont hear her cry,
Just hear the waves,
Switch the blame,
Go the way you came,
Boom your gone once again.
Child is the mother,
Mother as the child,
Failed attempt at motherhood,
Failed attempt of way a daughter should,
Be held,
Be cared,
In the end all you hear,
Forgive and repent,
Relive, please sit,
A love of a mother is 'priceless',
How could you forget,
The heartbreak and the pain,
Play again the blame game,
Stop caring theirs no point,
Hide your tears girl, you have no shame,
Take the weight,
Accept your fate,
Recycled youth where does she relate,
A girl who lost, and tried but it cost, her sanity feel something, anything but the knife you twist,
Switched on youre back again,
Switch cold,
She doesnt care,
It's not fair,
But is expected to share,
A life of agony and what could have been if you were there.
