| Holding on, That’s what I do, since I met you And it won’t be long, Would you notice, if I left you And it’s fine for some, But you’re not the one, You’re not the one... I lift her chin and look her in the eye... “One thing I want you to know - I never loved him. All those years, I never cared for him... not one bit... my heart was entirely for your father.” She gazes into my eyes cooly... scornfully. “Was it really?” I bite my lip, and try to ignore the stab I feel in my chest. “Yes, it was... still is, and always will be...” She shakes her head furiously. “And who do you mean by ‘him’, anyway? Who were you with?” “You mean he never told you what happened?...” I can’t believe my ears... “Daddy, you mean? He told me you were dead... he was sure you were. He would never lie to me.” “Dead? Oh, sweetie, no... not dead... although life like that is barely worth living.” I reach out to ruffle her hair, (‘Just like her father’s,’ I think) but she moves back... I take a deep breath, and go on: “I had no choice... he would’ve killed your father then and there, baby... and then you, and everyone I cared about...” I gulp, trying to hold in the tears, “I just couldn’t have that. So I left... I had to.” She looks at me... I suppose she believes me now. “But... who is this man? What did he want from you?” “At first, he wanted my love... when he saw he couldn’t have that, he wanted my power,” I shake my head, “And when I didn’t give him that... he killed your father.” All night long, I laid on my pillow, These things are wrong - I can’t sleep here... “Daffodil Lament” copyright 1994 Island records inc., song by The Cranberries in their CD No Need To Argue. |
