Left Behind

Why did you leave me
Why don't you care
Even as your daughter
I'm still your heir

I long for your love
But there was none 
When I said who I am
Our relationship was done

Every holiday
Every year
I miss your face
I miss your cheer

So I cry and cry 
And wonder why
But there's no closure
Only memories of lies

I am sorry this has happened to you. It seems like you are still in the midst of a storm and you have hope. The scars of the past can sometimes be healed through love. There are no promises. If you have hope, hate should not be part of your life. Take care of you and keep hope and the faith. Ed
