I don't know what you did to me.
I wish I could say it was bad...

An isolated child, a ruined woman,
Broken memories of days gone by...

This is too overwhelming, too powerful,
The pain is too great, too controlling...

I am sorry father for I have sinned,
I am my own fractured, imperfect self...

I long to hear from you each passing day,
Just to know how you are, your family and friends...

The tears I once shed over you mean nothing to me...
As you take the applause with a courteous bow...

Struck by love, you have to say,
Maybe this time you'll really stay...

If only you were here,
To look into my eyes...

I wish you wouldn't pretend you care for me,
You only watch out for your own...

Your hand glides down my hand, throw my hair,
Pulling me in ever so closer...

I don't expect your sympathy,
I don't expect your love...

Looking around you realise,
That things can change for the good and the bad...
