Dad
I’m sad you didn’t get to see your 8th…..

      but I think you’re okay with it.
I think
one of the
biggest
mistakes
you made
was
wanting me for you
instead of
wanting me for me.
I feel
electrified and alive
when
I inhale
the same air as
you
Your breath
drifts and twines
through the room
searching
finding me
out
and then
you permeate
my pores
effortlessly
sometimes I miss you to the point that I feel you pulsing in my bones vibrating in that rhythm the tempo
yours and yours alone
BAM
Never meant to be
with him
and ended up with him
Never ending up
with you
and meant to be with you

* (or irony)
I always told you I wore them
because of my eye surgeries
the light hurts my eyes
I said
truth is
I didn’t want you to see
the sadness
I still don’t
You’ll never be my beacon

just a misdirected map
in the night sky

the light house
that draws me
is
fixed firmly in the east

my sun rise
is never
my sun set
