Lie To Me
By vallwrites

~

Lie to me, dad.

I love you.

Promise me you'll stay.

I can't.

Lie.

I promise.

Tell me you'll protect me.

I'll protect you.

Even from you?

Me?

You say you'll protect me.
You always said you'd hurt any man
who ever laid a finger on me.
So, dad, do it.
Protect me from that man.
Protect me from you.

It's only because I love you.

But you don't love me, do you?
Because that was a lie.
