In shadows cast by whispered words, I tread,
A daughter bound by chains she never chose,
In her embrace, a chill of ice instead,
Love, once a garden, now a field of woes.
Her laughter echoes, sharp like winter’s bite,
Each smile a dagger, piercing through the day,
I long to hold her hand, to find a light,
Yet every word exchanged just pulls away.
I wish for skies to clear, for hearts to mend,
To bridge this chasm carved by fear and doubt,
Oh, how I wish for time, a faithful friend,
To guide us both towards a kinder route.
But here, I stand, a dreamer in the storm,
Hoping one day we can transform this norm.
