She trusted you
You were her hero
You are the reason.
That she exists.
The first word she
Uttered
Was for your attention.
She wanted to be just like you.
But you took her whole being.
You left her feeling confused,
Her little body and soul
raked in shame.
And guilt and blame.
Her whole world came crashing down around her.
Was it worth the pain she still carries around
In her big eyes,
Eyes so similar to yours?
Does it ever occur
To you
That you destroyed
The life you helped create?
And yet she wants
To come home to you.
