Not Daddy's Princess Poem by Juilee Kamble

I love him so much,
But he doesn't know that
He says he loves me
I can't believe that.
I wanna tell him about my dreams,
He doesn't seem to care
I want him in my world,
But now I don't dare.
I am more than grateful
For this beautiful life
But he won't even miss me,
When I become somebody's wife.
I need him
To be my friend
But to our relation
There is an awkward end
I am desperate for his love
And I want him to be mine
I want him to feel the same
Then we'd just be fine
I will be satisfied,
By a small chocolate he brings me
But he will forget to get it
And that reality kills me.
I don't want him
To be with me all the time
But could he just read a poem
I tried so hard to make it rhyme.
I can't speak these words
For they bring me tears
This relation has worn out
In the past 15 years.
Am I asking for too much?
Just for him to be my dad?
Just be there when I need him
Without even getting mad?
A few things he could do for me
I don't wanna be without him
Keep my photo in his wallet
Take part in my dream.
When he rings me for no reason
And forgets to say, "Love you"
That's when my heart says,
"Daddy doesn't need you"
I feel like an idiot,
Craving for him to be mine
I realize that's impossible
A chill goes right down my spine.

I have no idea that
Why doesn't he care?
Am I such a bad person?
Or he's just being unfair.
He only says stuff
Never shares anything with me
He shows that he cares
Never proves anything to me.
Am I responsible for him to be like that?
But what I could I have done?
I have had 15 years
Trying to be his loved one.
He talks to me
Like he's doing me a favor
And I dream of dancing with him
In the first rain shower
He has always been my king
He has always been priceless
But I've grown to know
That I'm not daddy's princess!
