Do you still love me?


I knew your pain, Your whole life was filled with it. I made sure, I, your daughter Wasn’t another disappointment Ah, to be the apple of your eyes. The daughter you’ve dreamed of. The pride on your face; I could just feel your love. That pride is gone now. It has been shattered. You no longer look at me that way, Nothing I ever did mattered. I never thought such simple words, Could wipe it all away I couldn’t keep lying to you “Mom, I’m gay” I’ve been trying to be understanding It’s a lot to take in, I know Please don’t push me away, Don’t make me go. I’m sorry you are disappointed, But that little girl is still here. I can’t change me, Please wipe away that tear. I can see your sadness, But can you see mine? Do you still love me, Mom? Are things going to be fine?
