I dreamed about you last night
We were eating dinner
or was it lunch?
I was not expecting you to come sit and dine with us
But you did and I was petrified
by your unusual presence.
I remember questioning your ways of being a father,
"Do you even have a job?"
I asked.
Then you stood up, startled
And tears becoming visible
on your red eyes.
"Why can't you just help mama for us?
I asked again
shouting now.
Then you walked away
leaving all my questions, spoken and unspoken
forever unanswered.
I woke up surprised
Remembering your tears
and the person behind it.
Thinking about it all
made me remember my past
and how you walked away in it.
