Daddy why can't I remember
ever wanting to hug you
You held me once
you did
you did
so tight one afternoon
I blocked it out of my mind for years
but i know it happened
the pain of mama clutching me hard
so you couldn't
daddy daddy you do not love me?
you had a brown belt
the kind you still wear
i couldn't sit down for weeks
now i still can't sit still
so i found others like you
but no one has as big a belt as you
heal me
daddy
hug me
