Is it Really True?

Dear Jessica,

You said you loved me,

But is it really true, 

Have I ever been that much to you

You say, of course you mean that much to me

But how much of that is true

Though I am literally a piece of you

It doesn't seem like that is true

Whatever I have done to you

Forgive my choices about the choices I never made

Forgive me for a life I never chose

I love you, you say you love me, but I don't think that is true

Have I ever been that much to you

If you really loved me, please tell me so

Or please tell me what I did to lose all of it

But, how can a 4 year-old girl cause such a mess 

Does she have to ask for forgiveness

Or is she the one giving the forgiveness

Forgive me for the choices you made on my life

And I'll forgive you for all the choices you didn't make

If you ever loved me, please tell me so 

I forgive you, but if you ever loved me,

Please help me grow

But tell me, is it really true

Have I ever been that much to you

I forgive all the pain and sadness you have given me

If you forgive me for having a life not chosen by me

I say I love you and it's really true

You have always been that much to me 

You are a piece of me I can never forget

Let me free of all the lies

And let all the truths fly

Help me, help you be free too

So tell me, is it really true

Have I ever been that much to you

Sincerely, your birth daughter,

Sandra
