You'll always love me

by Kalika   Aug 19, 2005


I was angry that you read it,
So angry that you pried.
And the more I thought about it,
The more I seemed to cry.

I want to tell you how I’m feeling,
But words cannot express.
I feel relieved from so much pressure,
So much pain, anger and stress.

For months I’ve been living,
In a sea of lies.
I tried to put it past me,
But I couldn’t look you in the eyes.

I don’t know what I was thinking.
I didn’t mean to do anything so bad.
And now you must see me differently,
Nothing like the image of me you had.

I know I’m still your daughter,
And that you love me everyday.
I just want to let you know,
That I love you in the same way.

I’m sorry that I lied to you,
From my point of view, I hope you see.
I couldn’t bear to tell the truth,
Couldn’t bear for you to judge me.

Please don’t blame yourselves,
This had nothing to do with you.
You both have been great parents,
Believe me, what I’m saying is true.

I hope you know I love you,
And trust me, I’m not mad.
Because you helped me tell the truth,
And for this I am truly glad.

I’m really, truly sorry,
I didn’t want to make you cry.
I don’t want to cause you any pain,
Trust me, I’d rather die.

I promise that I’ll talk to you,
Whenever I’m feeling down.
I know you’ll make it better,
Upside-down you’ll turn my frown.

I hope you’ll always love me,
Even though I put you through hell.
Hopefully we’ll get back to the way we were,
But only time will tell.

    I read your comments and truly appreciated them. I wanted to read your work and leave you one in return. I really enjoyed this poem. It's hard to find the comfortability that we find in our relationships with our equals in relationships with our peers. This includes, especially, our parents. It's so much harder to be open about the little things, even. This is a true expression of that. Thank you for your comments again. Keep writing. Great work.
