I wish you could have custody of me, Complete control, with neither choice nor question, One parent sovereign, in sole possession, One hope, one faith, one love, one loyalty. I long for such unstrained simplicity, Free of calculation and concession, The fear I might convey the wrong impression, The willingness that saps my will-to-be. I recognize that both of you have rights, But I'm the child, and mine are more than yours Since I am innocent of your dispute. I need a home to house my ruthless nights, A place so mine my dreams can find the doors, One word, one will, sustained and absolute.
