Dear dad, I feel so mad Whenever I ever hear the word dad It's like I've been stabbed Dear dad, My backbone has been peeled away from my skin Where the **** have you been? Without my back I've collapsed into a corner, you've become a foreigner. Dear dad, 'My rock' More like a useless chalk Crumbling in my hands If I dared to understand. Dear dad, We may be            apart But you don't even try Why? I can't stand our goodbyes. A knot of words lingers in my throat Scratching and crawling on my tongue to come afloat. I don't visit often because every time I leave my chest breaks away, Why don't you even try to meet me halfway? Dear dad, Slipping through my fingers Into your ashtray We have truly moved too far away Even if I lived next to you, in the same ******* house, we are too far Dear dad, Lift your cigar Cover in ashes, the star. He has forever left an ashy scar.

Happy Father's Day dad.
