Our Blizzard


He walked to the bar in a blizzard

He won't even try to change

Spends his life wasting his days

Still, I will always love him, my father,

My problems, the reason I bleed

I say, “but if you love me...”

Still he continues to leave

 

I walked to his house in a blizzard

I went there to cry to ask you why

You said it was because you loved me

But if you loved me you would have gotten help

You would want to show me the best parts of yourself

Your laugh, your knowledge, your love for me

But you don’t, you won’t

Now, I don’t believe your lies

After all, how could I?
