A little girl, brightly smiling
To the man she calls her dad.
But she has to leave, starts crying
He is sick, her mother said

She didn't understand,
What was wrong with him?
An answer she demand
But her mothers answers slim

A sickness in his head,
Not somtething to be fixed
"He was never there", she said
13, and still no answers clicked

The past, the present, hit at once,
A father but never quite a dad
All she wanted was the truth
Did that make her bad?

Now seventeen, she partly understands,
He truly loves her, she knows,
She grabbed her fathers hands,
And share the pain he shows

He hasn't been perfect,
But there were troubles in his mind
Sometimes lost in shadows
Searching for peace he couldn't find

A lovely heart, just stopped beating
tiny lungs moved by machines
life on a thread, so close to leaving
Slowly waking up from dreams

A heavy silence, not meant to be broken,
the memories creepy along
So much words left unspoken,
A past that feels so wrong

A lonely thought, so much more
Time lost but never gone
Dreams i simply adore
Dissapear by dawn

I called the silence and silence answered,
The wind gently lifted my hair
The moon, cold and white, looked unbothered,
As if it too, had forgotten to care

A heavy thought,
A burden never lost.
The silence fought,
But at what Cost?

Shallow waters I wander,
Staring at a sparkling moon.
With every step I wonder,
Why did you leave me so soon?
