Today my child slammed the door too hard
And I took a deep breath and thought of you
You set the standard for how to show love
And so I shifted towards compassion
Last Sunday I met up with a friend for coffee
And she talked for so long, I got bored
I took a deep breath and thought of you
And remembered the presence you gave me
......
Daddy, where were you when I was just a child,
A perfect little girl, eager and mild?
I didn't ask for much—just a look, a touch—
But you slipped away; was I asking too much?
Were you running from her, from her bitter flame?
But what about me—did you even know my name?
I lied to everyone, said we were close,
......
An Eternal Bond
Though it never wanted any fame,
Coz it’s itself enough with its intense name.
A bond fabricated with infinite chain,
Yeah! a chain like a running train.
It always starts from sharing a table talk,
To that falling step and lessons by him of every walk.
Sacrificing his needs to fulfill mine was always his way,
......
In every worthy fight, I'm the first one to step in
In any noble battle, I'm the last one to step out.
Even as my strength grows thin
I stand my ground, and abate all routes.
To turn and run would be my greatest sin,
They'd flay me like a surly lout.
So, I wear a dreadful grin
And fight on, with no doubts.
I set myself between you and danger

My house,
My house is a wondrously enticing mystery!
My house.
My house has no exterior, but is only built within.
My house grows from a seed, cascading ever inward.
My house!
It is in my house that I am truly free.
In my house, I tear myself from flesh,
Like bark stripped from a deeply rotting tree.

Don't tell me it's okay,
I don't deserve it that way,
Don't tell me your just fine,
Fine was always mine,
You own the words in my throat,
A creamy spatter,
What could be
What was
I can't be here
I can't be without you

You are a girl with dreams.
A girl with passion and ambition
. A girl who goes crazy over little things. But combats the worst situations with her head held high.
A girl who has boundaries but is never afraid to fly.
You are a person very practical
But never fail to visualise situations that are unreal
A girl who talks witty
But often blurts out things that are silly.
