Dedicated to Dad
Free me from this prison
I’m a hostage within my mind
Longing to know my father
If only I knew, I’d be satisfied
Mom, you hold all of your secrets
Clutched against your breasts
Before you inevitably leave me
Please put this mystery to rest
Amidst my life of misery
Constant abuse and neglect
I’ve found ways to forgive you
To remember you as the best
Please, all I ask of you
My one desire before you go
Is to tell me who you slept with
So I can finally know
