Forgotten daughter

Rare times, I think of you Time goes by. Less I long to see you Days turned into months Months turned into years No longer do I shed tears You seem to be okay. I am okay too. I stopped praying for you. Stopped reaching out to you Once my hero Now, I don’t recognize you. Stopped exhausting my energy Stop consuming my time You refused to fight for me. I used to wonder why. I would cry all the time. You stopped being by my side. Many sleepless nights Begging you to be in my life You were too busy drinking. Merely consuming my time thinking, Convinced in my mind, you are at peace Easier for me to let go Convinced me this is not what you want me to perceive You have forgotten who you are. More importantly, you have forgotten about me.
