Why

I’ve walked with you through shadows of pain I beckoned to you often Calling softly, whispering your name. I offered you solace, a fiery hand of vengeance, An unbreakable promise, a shield of defiance In your sorrows, you found a twisted comfort Rejecting peace, embracing the storm’s thunder. You dreaded tomorrows, a habitual fear, Drowning in weakness, shame drawing near. You are a queen, a goddess, a rare flower When I look at you I see the sun You are hope, you are love...you are my daughter Equality to my son Why won't you notice me? Why do you run from me? Why do you reject me? Why can't you see me? I've been with you all the while. In your state of neglect and destitute ways, You call yourself a fatherless child, lost in the haze. I’ve dried your tears each time you cried. I gave you strength when you wished to die. I’ve turned the bad into good, You still feel you can’t go on, but I know you could You seek love in your imagination. But it’s pretentious hope a false acceptance. A beautiful façade that has its limitations. It’s an illusion A wake-able dream The answer is right here It's within me I haven't moved My bond is certified true I ache for the answer Why don't you let me love you???
