Daddy knows

We stay up late talking

Into the dark hours of the night.

Spilling secrets,

Trading thoughts. . .

We speak of getting high enough,

To feel only happy. . .

Not care that we hate each other,

With a passion all it's own.

Wish we were drunk enough,

To not remember. . .

That, you prefer rum and coke

and I, gin and tonic. . .

We sneak out of our houses,

meet up on the trails.

Blow some smoke.

Drink some booze.

Just a little fun.

But there's a line you see. . .

You crossed it.

The night you leaned in to whisper,

"I won't tell anybody. . ."

Expecting me to melt in your hands. . .

I did.

I became your play thing.

Your toy,

a doll of sorts.

You could dress,

or undress me as you pleased.

I wanted you to.

Though your lips tasted of sweet wine,

It was not your kiss I was after.

You reeked of pot,

Though a pleasuring scent

It was not your body I was after.

No, I wanted your heart.

Only your heart. . .

I knew I'd never be your lover,

But at least I'd fill your sheets.

Keep your bed warm at night,

your company under the covers. . .

I didn't tell my daddy.

So how could he know?

You said you wouldn't tell. . .

You wouldn't tell that I,

young and sweet.

Gave you my innocence to you,

Sad and cruel. . .

But, you crossed that line,

and had to tell.

How else would daddy have found out?
