All I ask
Is for a phone call
Just to know that you’re okay
And to tell you that I miss you

All I want
Is to feel your love again
Your arms that wrap me in a hug
Your way of letting me know that your there

All I need
Is to know that you care
To know that you at least think about me
To have you back in my life

All I do
Is wait for the caller ID to show your name
Is hope that you love me as you once did
Is long for you to care about me

All I am
Is a 15 year old girl
Who hopes she is still important
Who dreams that her mom will show up

And tell her that she loves her

I do hate what I've had to put up with, but I honestly wouldn't change a thing about it. It made me who I am today, and I'm very proud of that person :)

Alright. So. I absolutely love this. And I'm sooo sorry about your mom, because I know exactly how you feel. My stepdad walked out of my life a year ago and I miss him so much. It sucks not feeling like someone you loved cares about you anymore. This poem was so honest and beautiful. Great job. :)
