Mine & Yours
I see him there.
Deep lines, pretty tall.
They tell me, respect is key
But I don’t feel it at all.
The man who gave me that ball
He reaches for me
I pull away
When I was small of age
I would always stay
Now I want nothing more than to move astray
No.
The family.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Eye to eye.
Heart to heart.
I stop.
A bird chirps in the nest up ahead.
I think to myself
Is this how it will end?
The chicks follow, waiting to be fed.
He cares.
All the lessons
All the memories
It’s easy to feel the depression
Happiness, down the drain from one single confession
He who planted a seed
Fostering sadness
Choked in joy
I am who I am today
No one more.
I am happy.
Coated with sunshine
No matter, I am sorry
There is always a force that has the sun retire at night
Make way for the waning moon it cries.
Is this what I want?
Little fractures slowly driving my family further apart?
I call his name and walk into his fatherly embrace.
He loves me, he cares for me
Some of the days.
