Here she goes again
Crying, bleeding inside
Her heart liquifying to tears
Why don't you want her?
Haven't you changed after twenty-one years?
The door was wide open once
Both feet were over the threshold
Finally!
An instant later you were gone
Like a ghost of her greatest desire
One she could stare at from a distance
But could not get close enough to grasp
She has learned so much from you
Grown stronger
Wise beyond her years
One day when you finally wake up
She may no longer need you there
One of these days
You'll yearn for your daughters love
Beg her to forgive you
But she is no longer blind to the truth

i know what it is to wait

yet all they await is a death bed for some
