We speak in fragments, broken lines,
A language lost between the signs.
I reach for you, but always miss—
A mother's love, a daughter's wish.

Our words are heavy, hard to say,
The weight of silence in the way.
I long for warmth, for softer light,
But every hug feels too tight.

I want to know the way you feel,
To bridge the gap, to make it real.
But every step feels out of sync—
An unseen wall, a missing link.

I've watched the years drift slowly by,
With questions left to hang and die.
I want to love you, want to be
The daughter that you hoped you'd see.

But something's lost, or maybe found,
In all the distance we've allowed.
Still, deep inside, a hope remains—
To mend what's broken, ease the pain.

Perhaps one day, we'll find a way,
To heal the hurt, to learn to stay.
A mother's love, a daughter's plea—
I want us closer. I hope you see.
