The Father

by finley-pietersen

So you're happy now with another man at home with our son I will always be his dad you told me and I thank you Just so you know I never stopped loving you I never stopped being shit but I never stopped loving you when your skin is liquid and your teeth rattle in your skull I will still love you When the earthworms use your eye sockets as tunnels and when all men have either forgotten or are too scared to speak your name I will still love you you deserve to be happy and you are right to move on if you feel as though your dreams with me are truly dead and gone just know that I still love you love the father of your son
