I don't believe

She was a loving child, soft and kind Sweet little laughter, innocent mind Held my hand, said, “Mom, I’ll never leave” Now she’s someone I can’t believe Now when I visit, her eyes turn cold Her voice cuts sharp, her anger bold She pushes me back like I’m to blame For all her hurt, for all her shame How did my daughter become this storm? Where’s the girl whose hugs kept me warm? I see her shadow, but not her soul… Love has left her, left a hole. I don’t believe this is who you are My little girl, you’ve gone too far You’ve built a wall I can’t get through But I still love the girl I knew. In Arizona sun, she turned away She was angry every day Aggressive words, walls built high I flew back home just asking why I don’t believe this is who you are You were my light, my northern star But I can’t reach you, can’t break through I gave you love, I tried my best. She does not care. Just let her rest Silence fills the space so wide Love is leaving, hate grows inside I don’t want to believe the story’s done I still want to see her in the sun Maybe one day, she’ll turn around And hear the love in every sound She was a loving child, soft and kind
