a letter for me, a letter for you.

my father, your words reverberate in my vertebrae. thirty three words shake me to my core: *my child, i have to make it elsewhere before my times runs out because you have many years, but i do not. i don’t belong by your side like i thought i did.* you didn't even sign with "your father". an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

when i said, "an eye for an eye

leaves the whole world

blind." do you understand why i said that? or was that a little too random?
