I just assumed that you'd stay

not that you'd be leaving at three in the morning

leaving my moms darkened eyes and my brothers tear stained ones.

but what was amazing was that I still loved you, dad

I still looked at you like you put the stars in the skies

I still looked at you like you were the comforting voice in one in the morning.

even after you caused the galleries of bruises on my skin.

and when you were opening the door to leave,

I asked, 'why're you leaving dad? ' I didn't really know what was going on. I just loved everyone

everyone who took advantage of me

you looked at me like I stole the stars from your skies

like i was the voice that told you to mark us with memories

you looked at me with a sad look.

destructed.
