[You *are the* One]

inspired by Lucky Dube's The One

i sit here listening to the voice
of a man torn
his daughter removed from him
"daddy, is this
who are now?"

tears welled
then rimmed my eyes
sorrow overcomes me
"i've removed myself from you"

does this mean
i no longer love you
or
i've grown away from you
geograPhysically
emotionally
that didn't occur as a
simple error

don't worry daddy
i'll get to know you
again
i'll get back to you
someday
don't worry
i'll never be
too far away from me
