im fine without you

dear daddy...dont know how you still are one...but heres to you:

fourteen years
i've made it without you
fourteen birthdays
im fine yes im fine

i made it through
asking mom every night
when's he coming home
wheres daddy

never an answer
till one day
"daddy's not coming back"
and the cries...

i dont get it sometimes
why? why would this be taken from me
and why is it that i cant have you both

we werent satisfied
with everyother weekend
and wednesdays
it was not the same

but we made it through
somehow

the pain just all sinks in
when we came to see you
and you still left
i just didnt understand

the little time we had together
u left
2 in the morning coming back
was starting to become a habit

and

all that pain just started to sink in
cuz when we made the effort
to be together
you crushed it down to the ground

and now it doesnt even matter
i dont know why you dont want me

but

im FINE without you.

PoeticProcrastination
i'm sitting here reading this trying not to cry

because it's everything i've guessed at about you and your dad but never truly heard put into words

and if i wasn't your best friend and i happened to be some cold distant analyzer of literature i would say that this text is fucking BRIMMING with raw power and it basically just punches you in the side of the neck and then throttles you just for fun

but i am not an analyzer of literature

i am your best friend

and now i'm crying.
