Mom said, «no,» I said, «why?»
She told me not to cry
Tears came down, I said, «please»
She told me to get off my knees
I said, «I had to,» She said, «Oh»
I said, «I need to,» She said, «So.»
I said, «Try to sympathize.»
She said, «No,» to no surprise.
I said, «later?» She said, «No.»
I said I'd run away, she said, «Go.»
I said, «maybe?», Then I asked again.
She was silent, so I said, «When?»
She said I was just a pest,
So I called Daddy and he said, «yes.»
