A Daughter's Lament
by Alisa JsI want to love you the way I need to,
The way I always dreamed
Yet, each and every time
With all I see
My heart is torn again to shreds
In this reality that screams
How can love live inside slurs and torrid cheap shots
Whispers of such disrespect
Or utterances hissed beneath your breath,
You think I dont feel
And understand the rage
Onthis misbegotten face,
The cruel and inhumane forays
When I was just a younger girl
I know I idealized
Romanticized
Glorified,
A mother and a daughter team
In my dreams, wed meet
Youd tell me all is well
And one day, someday
We would fly to some place nice
Just hold on tight, youd come to me
And hold on tight, I did
Time does change and people, too
Some things were never meant to be
Not in the way a young girl dreams
Smacked in the head by this oppressive realm
Of anything other than sugar and spice
Rather rusty lug nuts and pithy pride
Scathing comments
Scalding threats in empty shells,
I almost wish I never knew
This side of loving you,
And could live my life instead
Without this bleeding heart of pseudo-happiness
