Delirium

Delirium

Mom’s screaming again
While my step dad lashes out
I run to my dad

The warm sensation
The feeling of being safe
The love of a dad

Midnight, Confusion
Was it only just a dream?
Tears, flashes of you

Pain and agony
I was three and you were gone
Yet I still love you

I’m seventeen now
Fights, lies, red, black, dark, sadness
I run to my dad
