True Story
When I found out
That my biological father was goin to die
My heart cried
And my brain condemned me
For allowing such sorrow to seep into my soul
"You didn't love him anyway"
I was alwasys good at lying to myself
My pain came in jolts of electricity
Eache lightning strike
Was a toxic concoction
I forced myself to swallow
I wasn't strong enough to admit that I
loved him yet
But I was strong enough to want to hate him
Strong enough to carry the weight of the box hey should've put him in
And trown hi ass into the river
Strong enough to cry...
At his funeral
But they didn' put him in a box
Just him on fire
So he'd be nothing more than a memory in a vase
Man was I confused...
I couldn't understand why my brain
Was trying to make him a saint in my eyes whe
Let's be honet
He was a piece of shit
A piece of shit
But God I loved him
I loved him so much
I still do
I wanted so badly to give him his 700th second chance
To fix himself
To heal him
To apologize for breaking him
You know
It's weird
I walk around telling people
That my dad is dead
But I know on my 18th birthday
I'll expect him to call, wanting to see me
And it is then
I'll realize this is not a dream
Or a wish come true
It's just a really sad true story
