When are you coming back? By all means you're here, and 'aren't we lucky' that you survived the fall Technically, physically you're here lying in front of me with your eyes closed and your fists unclenched You look peaceful, like yourself, for the first time in a long time
But a long time isn't forever, and so I know you were here once Wasn't I enough to keep you going? Even if I'm not your whole world was I not a big enough portion to make you see that there are people who love you and reasons to stay? But you still left
You left with all your kindness and soul It's like you packed up everything that made you real Your smiles and tears Anxieties and ambitions love and laughter and just... left.
You left behind this robot in your place It didn't care about me Or consequences It didn't appreciate life and tried to throw everything away
Please come back and claim what's yours Please tell me you love me and loose the lifeless look in your eyes
Maybe then I'll tell you what it was like when you were gone And maybe then you won't go again I'll tell you everything Like the time I asked you if you loved me and waited for a reply and waited for a very long time I'll tell you about the monster that you became And maybe you won't let it in again But first YOU have to come back!
Dad, I don't know who is after you, or what they did to your humanity But I'm scared because they're after me too. They enter our minds and steal our hearts When you were gone they were the only thing left in your place And I was scared
I'm scared now, for you and me Which is why I'm repeating myself so desperately
Dad...Please come back.
I could edit this now and try to fix some of it, or edit it a little but I really don't have the heart! I wrote this when I was 10, and The words kind of feel like an old friend,and I couldn't 'fix' them if I tried- even if it's a little amateur in it's current state.
