shes home

Ashley, my daughter home again.

3 times kicked out, 3 times asking to return.

I say this will be the last time. I said that last time.

Watching her, like watching my mom. Can't save her, can't help her.

Hear Avril's 'nobodys home' when I think of her.

Was it me? Her dad? Her grandmas suicide so young?

Don't know. Only know I love her, hate her, miss her.

I look upstairs at my favorite pictures of her, how old was she? Three.

Black and white photos in the waterfall. Free .....

Six weeks till graduation, will she make it?

Going into the navy, will she make it?

2 hours until school is out, will she make it home?

The other daughter, hugs mom when she cries for ashley

14 years of fun, 18 years of doubt

not really sure. Still numb from the last goodbye.

Dont trust her, can't give up on her
