Our moments together were
An inconvenience for both,
Necessity for neither,
Desired only by me.

I was a stupid, little girl.

I need not hold back tears
My ducts for you dried out
When my
Faith, love, and trust
Ebbed away with
Disappointing and lackluster years

Dropped down a bottomless pit

Your ability to ignore
My existence remains
Ever admirable
While my sentiments remain
Everlastingly indifferent

I'm a cold-natured soul

When you're an old man
You will think back on the days
You wasted our time,
And turned a blind eye

You'll wonder why your only begotten child left your life

If you are lucky enough to reach an age of old
A numbness so comfortable
Unspeakably whole
On your deathbed
Peacefully waiting
The departure of your soul
Notice,
I won't be there
I've turned a blind eye.

*Oh, father, you've taught me too well
