Empty promises is all she sees
My parents are compulsive liars
It’s as if they don’t even acknowledge me
Gambling problem
And unpaid bills
Empty liquor bottles give them the thrill
Heartbroken daughter who’ll never receive the love
From a supportive parent
Who’s company is overdue
And transparent
But why mother, why?
Do you always make me cry
But why father, why?
Do never say goodbye
Don’t you see the way she sits alone and die
Making a wish upon the emptiness of the sky
Hoping
Waiting
Longing
For the parental lullaby
