Tears flow from your eyes
I do my best to make them cease
but they are as relentless as a drenching storm
what causes this storm?
Is it me?
Is it your father?
Or is it the entity of life itself?
The more I observe, the more I see
these tears are caused by self
years of telling yourself you're not good enough
and no one says otherwise, so you believe it
But I implore you Darling
You are better than good
your being has influenced others
Cared for others
Loved others
Loved me
Your life has created a new life in me
Because of you, these thoughts I once shared with you,
Have ceased in me
You make me belong
You make me feel
You make me live
you make me matter
So, my love, let me help you
Like you helped me.
