Words From My Father
You're ugly.
No.
You’re the ugly one,
With scotch tainting your breath
And shaky hands.
Coming home late;
Yelling.
I promise.
Always.
Every time is a letdown.
Too bad you can’t fix broken promises
The way you can fix a sink;
Easily.
I'm a soldier.
Yes.
But bravery you lack.
You hide behind the bottle,
Liquid courage for a man
Who really has none
At all
I love you.*
Really?
You say as you pour another glass
And spout more nonsense
About how you wish
You never had kids,
ever
