In the dark
- to Father
Ella Yan Wei
In the dark
My heart flies away
To you
You are sitting
By a table
Reading a letter from me
Like a silent stone
Dear Father
I want you to say
Hi my girl
Bring me to a cinema
Come with me to a park
Sit beside me on a beach
But you never require
I just watch you
Growing older and older
Until one day
You are sick
Lying on a bed
I will give you
A glass of water
through my quivering hand
In the dark
Your sight
Sits on my shoulder
Like a warm lamp.
