A Lament In the Streets

Longing of the heart, of the mind Curiosity is killing, step by step The moon and the stars-Insomniac Who will end these queries I hear them talk abut their sire's "my father this, my father that" Inside I'm void, empty of utterance Dumb-my mum is I desire to know the truth Every time the sun moves The wound deepens I want to know my dad I'm searching for my daddy I'm searching for my daddy If you happen to see him Let him be informed I'm still searching for him Daddy-never called anyone so Even if Ill only have a glance of you Ill still search for you Daddy, I have a lot of quizzing Why you left me alone Why you advised Mummy to get rid of me You abandoned me But, here I am searching for you Cause I love you anyway If anyone happens to see him Inform him, I'm yearning for him Patiently waiting, waiting for that moment Hopeful I am By Sylvia Semo(Cylviaan)
