I needed you. I wanted love.
A warm and gentle hug.
The bonding of a family
Stems from a mother's love.
I've tried to make you proud.
I strive to be my best.
But all you do is criticize
And put me to your test.
You've never really loved me,
The way a mother should.
You never did support me,
Like any mother would.
You're dominant and critical.
Vindictive and resistant.
I only needed love from you,
But you were far too distant.
I'm sorry that you've missed so much
Of the love I have to give.
A daughter's love is special,
But you refuse to need it.
So, place yourself on high
O mighty Judge upon your throne.
If love is what you give to me,
I'd rather be alone!
