A daughters broken heart

The days drag on slowly
I fear every single breath
Ive missed you more than ever, dad
Since that day I left

Though you know so little
I have fought for you
Even in our roughest times
Ive tried to see it through

I have pretended for you
That everything was ok
Just to suite your needs
To make it through the day

Ive told you how I feel
But to you it means so little
I held my heart out to you
And yet it sits there gentle, brittle

You ignore the signs
Pretending that I am fine
Pretending that its not true
But its written in these lines

I wish I could just forgive you
Just let everything go
But the depths of my soul tell me different
I have made my choice as no

Work for what your loosing
Take that heart from my hand
Hold it gently in your arms
Do your best, I know you can

Remember that I miss you
And the days have been so slow
I will be here waiting
When you decide to show
