You tell me im fine Day in and day out So why am I still bleeding And why don’t you care Just look at me Like you once did So I can feel seen For the suffering i’ve endured For the pain i bleed Look at me Just once Acknowledge my existence So i know im real And its all for something Look at me And tell me Im not ok I need help I need you. I sit here Wondering if im good enough While the metallic sap falls from my side Would you care if you knew What your absence carved Into my brain Into my skin Into my heart A part of me might never forgive you But the other part She will forever love you Because she doesn't know What all you've done to us I wish you the best dad But please Don't try to come back this time

Ghost of a Father
You tell me im fine Day in and day out So why am I still bleeding And why don’t you care Just look at me Like you once did So I can feel seen For the suffering i’ve endured For the pain i bleed Look at me Just once Acknowledge my existence So i know im real And its all for something Look at me And tell me Im not ok I need help I need you. I sit here Wondering if im good enough While the metallic sap falls from my side Would you care if you knew What your absence carved Into my brain Into my skin Into my heart A part of me might never forgive you But the other part She will forever love you Because she doesn't know What all you've done to us I wish you the best dad But please Don't try to come back this time
