Esmerelda

We only almost had a daughter
There's no regret nor sadness but wonder
Of who she'd be today
Esmerelda would your name
And happiness is all that you'd feel today
But, full of questions like

Why does mom not
Love you daddy?
Does it mean that
You're not the best there could be
Well who is he to me?
They share a room when they sleep
And on the weekends, it's only you and me.
So why does mom not love you, daddy?

Esmerelda, I'm sorry to say
Before you were born,
I wished you away.
I had a plan, and you would only stand in my way
But I have made nothing
I could not have made
With you here and that's your mom
Has chosen not to stay

It's why your mom does not love your daddy
It surely means I'm far from the best there could be
Who is he to me?
He's a root of jealousy
A reminder of all I could not have offered her
We only almost had a daughter
