To My Little Girl

Daddy ran in another direction

thinking you were the oops of

an untamed erection

knowing you’d grow to long

a male connection, whom you’d

struggle to find in a companion,

but this was not the plan for your creation.

So mommy walked away

with much of nothing herself

to say knowing you’d grow to have

questions.

Daddy walked away

with little to say and left

Mommy angry;

Knowing hugs and kisses

you’d grow up missing

wasn’t their number one

priority.

So mommy lashed out

what she couldn’t out her mouth

only to fill your heart with doubt

and a lifetime of sadness

your heart can’t stop shouting.

To my little girl, your daddy and mommy

are flaking, yearning what wasn’t

is pricey and costing, and waiting

for an apology is time wasted.

Stand to love and not live to fall in love

This message was written with your conception.
