Have you ever listened to somebody freely enough to let them change you

My greatest fear was realized that day
I've put a distance here for my own protection
This something in between
It's selfish and wrong by any standard

You see this external shell as something hard and unforgiving
It is
That's all I'm capable of

And everytime I look at you my beautiful baby girl
I see all my mistakes
How I let you down
The better person learns their wrongs
Does it right next time
But next time scares me because I'm not that better person

I see how strong you are
I won't pretend I understand your fight
I push you away so I don't get another chance to destroy this
All second chances are another way for me to hurt you
