fatherless

your name is written on

each of my tears

they’ll stroke my cheeks

momentarily

only to fade away

just as you did.

how is it that you gazed into my eyes

(which are a duplicate of your own,

by the way)

and still ruled that i

wasn’t enough for you to stay?

ive spent these years

hiding the ache in my heart

that you left, when

you did

after all this time

i've spent trying to heal

and still, i have no progress

to show

oh, where did my

daddy go?
