You once told me I exist because you let me. I felt those words veil me. A bullet grazing my skin smothered in a vanity of nurture. My skin barrier corrodes as your breath cracks my face. I am no longer nourished.

Ghost of a father
You once told me I exist because you let me. I felt those words veil me. A bullet grazing my skin smothered in a vanity of nurture. My skin barrier corrodes as your breath cracks my face. I am no longer nourished.
