I could say
something.
But I haven't.
Not even in all the years since we have been grown
and on our so-called own.
Just say I
had you
out of my body.
And that it is only biology and didn't stop me from treating
you like a pawn ticket.
Tell you I
had you
out of my body,
which doesn't mean anything either.
or I'm sorry, though it's too over for apologies.
Just say I
missed you
all those times
I settled.
I don't have call you "my daughter," after I say I gave birth to you.
I could:
tell you
I prefer facts
murky the way they are, or tell you the truth,
or tell you the lie I was coming back for you.
