To Myself Have I Lied
Do you know
You were my shelter,
Do you know
You have been my pride
When we had
Nothing to solder,
When it was
Long before I cried.
I felt your work
As a good father
Making us
Fine and satisfied
As “daughter”
My job was harder
You went far
While I had to hide.
Now my dear
Don’t treat me tougher
Don’t hit me
With your blaming side
I know you,
Perfect lover;
To myself
Have I ever lied?
