Why

I have been there with you through the pain I beckoned to you often Whispering your name I offered you solace My fiery hand of vengeance My unbreakable promise You found comfort in your sorrows You rejected the peace and embraced the hate You habitually dreaded your tomorrows Drowning in your weakness, wallowing in your shame 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 In your state of neglect And your destitute ways You refer to yourself as a fatherless child 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. I've wiped your tears Often as you cried I gave you strength When you were weekend and desire to die I have taken the bad and replaced it with good You have turned away my giftS You still feel you can’t go on, but I know you could You call upon your imagination For love that is not real The false acceptance has its limitations It’s an illusion A wake-able dream The answer is right here It's within me I've been right here my word is the truth I ache for the answer Why don't you let me love you???
