FATHER

 

I scream at the brick wall once again.
Shouldn't you be the parent?
Where did your strength go?
Is it me?
Is it me?
I can taste the smell of liquor.
Memories choke me until I am drowning.

You used to laugh like the sun.
Put down the bottle and hold my hand.
Is it me?
Come back to me.
You used to laugh like the sun.
What can I do?
Come back to me.
Begging was never enough.
Where are you?
Your hypocrisy stings my skin like bees.
I'm so tired.
