M's Poetry
To My Dad
To my dad....
I will lay down my anger
if you lay down the cause
I want you to be alive
subtracting slowly the pain by ounces
and all these silences
only bury the meaning
I want to love you
but I am....scared
To my dad....
Your ways are my scar tissues
and the relationship is two lions in a cage
a distance only to later attack
and I want to look at you so bad and see...meaning
but oh no all I see is a man I know to well
but I know not at all
I imagine the bars cuz I just can't visit
and even though you ain't here
I still see your tears in my mind
you can fine mine behind my smile
