And I'm still trying to figure out how to say that without feeling like a liar Making up a screenplay in my head: dead lead from the real way I wish to express, again Exiting into your u-turn I always ******* dread: descend Melodies I learned to hum when young To someone now no one, flashes of red You hummed them to me; child-like: off to bed Implanting this seed in me  I don't recall a single syllable you said But still memories are melting me like butter on burnt bread Talking to a ghost Pointless...end.

Happy Father's Day
And I'm still trying to figure out how to say that without feeling like a liar Making up a screenplay in my head: dead lead from the real way I wish to express, again Exiting into your u-turn I always ******* dread: descend Melodies I learned to hum when young To someone now no one, flashes of red You hummed them to me; child-like: off to bed Implanting this seed in me  I don't recall a single syllable you said But still memories are melting me like butter on burnt bread Talking to a ghost Pointless...end.
