In the shadows of a broken home,
Where words are whispered, never grown,
A daughter seeks a mother’s hand,
But finds a heart she can’t understand.

Promises made then quickly fray,
Leaving echoes that won’t fade away,
In the silence, tears softly fall,
A bond once strong, now a distant call.

Eyes that glance but never meet,
Love that’s lost in the retreat,
A daughter yearns for warmth and care,
Yet finds herself in despair.

Time goes by, yet wounds remain,
Unspoken words in the endless rain,
In the quiet, a silent plea,
For the love that was meant to be.
