I always wanted to ask him,
The one I call my father,
But our Talk doesn\’t get further,
Far enough to tease,
And get the answer,
That my question may ease.
That moment,
When the world is just us two,
Father daughter talk,
A dance to the tune of our voices,
Then I realize,
His love for my mother,
But I want to Know,
How close is she?
Close to his heart.
Day after day,
Time after time
Talking got better
I hesitated
He encouraged
I pulled the Trigger
And gave a shot
Posed the question
How close is She?
She is not close
She is into my Heart
Into my deepest chamber
From there she pumps blood
To keep the fire burning
Without her I am weak
Without her I am a fool
Without her love I am a hater
Without her I don\’t have you
Without her my world is void
She is the reason I live
Was the answer on my father\’s lips.
