Parents

Danielle Atwater

All I see is disappointment in your eyes and mine

Treat me like your daughter 

Is it too much to ask,

For you to love me unconditionally?

 

How many times have I been here? 

Crossing bridges into different realities 

Broken hearted spirit, breaking, broken 

Where’s it at? 

 

Pebbles dropped into water

Cutting stone against the grain 

My feet slip, fall again, back up again 

Before I know it, I’m drowning 

 

A drink drowns away sadness in your eyes

Does it bring you happiness?

I couldn’t sleep at night

Knowing this feeling of loneliness
