poem to daddy

Its so much better when youre gone

But I cant be alone

Alone is how I feel

Even when youre with me.

As much as I love you

Youre hurting me

Pain I feel when I see your eyes

Dark with secrets

Id like to know but never will.

I don't know what changed

Between us

We used to be okay

Better than okay but now

Its different you look at me

With distance.

Im right here waiting

For you to open up to me

Before I leave

Go start my own life without

You in it.

Dreams future will bring cannot

Include you unless something

Changes and we

Are just kids again.

Carefree happy distracted

Oblivious.
