You watch me.

By TornPieces

My hand is so much smaller than yours.

Its ok, it doesnt matter..

my fingers will reach yours one day,

Why do I remember your breath, but always forget your eyes.

I never knew their color.

The rain has one eye, that sees through every degree

Like you,

you watch me,

even when you are absent,  I hold my tongue

I hold my breath

at first I feel fear,

but you do care about me,

Im not only your daughter,

your my partner,

we are special.

us together,  arent we.

they say its bad, they tell me its bad.


but I wont say a word,
I know, its just that. you love me this way.

This way so special.

Even though my hand is small, it fits perfectly in yours.

Like the rain you watch me,

The rain tells me not to betray you ,

The rain of tears, 

the shower of guilt, confusion...dirty  blue eyes 

ill close her eyes.

I see my eyes.


I step up and smile, 
see?.......  I reach your fingers...

hello new daddy.
