I WISH

I wish she told me

I wish she prepared me

That growing up is hard

That the transition from a girl to

A woman is beautiful yet scary

I wish she let me know

That there will always be

A difference between my brother

And the boy next door

I wish she told me

That one day I would meet a boy

That one day I would like that boy

That a time in life I will fall in love with a boy

I wish she told me

That one day that boy

Would break my heart into tiny little pieces

That it would feel like someone is

Wrenching it outta my chest

I wish you prepared me mama

On how to deal with this pain

Please tell me how to make it go away

Make it stop mama

But it  hurts like crazy

I wish beyond wishes

That I was forever daddy’s little girl

That girl who dreamt of a prince charming

That girl who believed in the Cinderella story

Then I would live in my fantasy world of

 Pink rooms, curly hair, dolls, flowers

I wish she knew

That her little girl

Will one day know

A hurt so deep.

It brings deep haunting

Shadows to her soft beautiful eyes…………
