Submission 255

A poem to my dad,

Gone, gone, gone
Why the fuck did you go?
There was so much to stay for
But I guess you didn't know
Or couldn't see.
You left me to live without you
Bereft, destroyed.
The primal laws were broken
Never to be repaired.
I carry your burden
I live with despair
Determined not to pass her on
To the ones with whom I care
I live, love, laugh
But never truly heal
The primal laws were broken
Never to be repaired.
