all i ever wanted was to be loved by you, the one thing i never got
i desperately wanted to be accepted like all daughters do
i often cried myself to sleep because i felt unworthy of your love and i didnt know why
i wondered why you left me here alone and said that you never wanted me
you told me i was worthless and that i couldnt be your daughter
each day i wonder what it would of been like to have a father like in the stories my mom read to me when i was little
the father that tucks you in at night and the one you run to when your mother yells at you
but i never really wanted any of that, all i needed was love, the love that i never got
today, i am stronger and i have realized that it wasnt my fault and that i do deserve to be loved

moving and often very true
such a sense of longing. I like "i never really wanted any of that." You would have been so flexible in you wishes. An excellent expression of the rejection that you felt and a good resolution, realizing that it wasn't your fault and you are worthy of love.
