lost.
when mom leaves you
when dad doesn't understand you
when she controls you
when he doesn't want you
when you want him
but he doesn't want you
when you heal
and learn after time
that he never wanted you
and all you've wanted is him
now you're lost
because if mom left you,
then he can leave you
if dad can't understand you
then he won't get you
if she controls you
you can't be free.
you are lost
not only in his eyes
or his voice
or in his memory
but in spirit
in strength
and in hope.
