Dad

As I cowered in the corner

Broken

Grasping at myself

Begging for an ounce of comfort

Listening to my tears echo

Across every empty inch of my "home"

I thought about how you must have felt

All those years ago

When we left you

Is this what it was like?

I know I didn't have a choice

But I should have stayed

Because I've heard that silence

I know how deafening it is

And if I stayed, you wouldn't have to hear that
