At the end of the root,
You will find a knot.
It looks tired and worn.
The knot tells a story
Of a complex relationship.
It is distorted in pain
And hangs on for dear life.
Tangled in this knot
Is a daughter and a father.
They tie each other up.
No matter how they try,
They lock each other out.
Neither of them can be wrong,
But both can't be right.
The future stretches out in front.
Soon she will leave.
What will happen?
Will the knot
At the end of the root,
Ever untie?
