Dad

what does that mean to you? 

to me it meant 

yelling

anger 

fear

 

Dad

you said you loved me 

all i said was

okay 

sure

yep

 

Dad 

you meant so little 

that you became 

neihboors 

friends

nobody

 

Dad 

I only wanted to make you happy 

instead i made you 

dissapointed 

upset

mad

 

Dad 

there was a time when i believed (knew) 

that you wanted me 

dead 

dead 

dead
