Dad, I know what you're hiding
You're nine year old secret
Is mom not enough?
What do I have that she hasn't?
I hold innocence
You use my love for you as a vulnerability
You can't have just mom
You need more, to feel alive
I am NOT your freedom
Daddy, I can't give you what you need

Five: Something sad, something that'll bring me to tears.
When I saw 'I can't give you what you need' I saw innocence. and That reminded me of my dad.
