A Broken Bond

Even though you caused us pain.

I still always saw the good in you.

I wanted nothing more than to be

“Daddy’s Little Girl.”

I fought for that title for years.

Never really seeing the true cost of it.

Looking back I now understand the price of wanting to be

The everything of someone who is incapable of loving equally.

And if I could go back and change it,

I would.

Your love had become a competition.

A competition that broke her heart,

Because she never won.

I never wanted to be the favorite.

But that’s just the game you play.

You broke our bond

By breaking her heart

And putting us against each other.

To fight for a title that wasn’t even worth it.

We still fight this battle to this day

Because of the damage you have done.

         But slowly we are learning to throw away the competition

You embedded in our brains.

And rebuild the sisterly bond you un-rightfully stole from us.

Wow! This was intense. I wonder myself if this may be true... Dont have to share if you dont feel comfortable about it. Anyhow. This was wonderful and filled with true emotion. Real or not. I enjoy it very much
