for my dad
anyone can see it, he even told me before, each step i take i faulter, each word that is ever spoken from my dry lips is ruined, why would you make me shake like that, you said you didnt mean it, i still cant stop shaking, i need to breathe in every word you've ever yelled at me, it hurts when they cradle my heart, you have all the power in the world to destroy me, dont apoligize after, its going to happen again, this i know, i'm almost drowning in the same thing as you are, the spoiled smell of alcohol that rests on your tongue, kills my soul, your delicate hands hold that cigarette so carelessly as you sleep, body sprawled all over, boots still on, untie them dear, please, your bound to die soon, you're already dead inside, father you kill me, i want you to know this, i love you so much when you're sleeping, i hate every bit of you when you're screaming, dad, i'm dying inside, do you remember our past, do you even think its real, i remember what it was that you made me feel, hurt, you're every move caused pain, now its like i'm not even there, you come home from work, i can tell you've had a bad day, be silent, i wont cry.
