The Other You

Dear Mi Padre

Dear mi padre que nunca conoció mis problemas

knowing how much you hurt me and the effect that thing has.

Never once did you stop and think

" Is this okay?"

Of course you didn't instead you carried on becoming more grey

You started to dissolve like water in the palm of my hand

slowly fading away till there's only a strand

How dare you ask me for another chance

When you threw away the rest that you already had

Did you ever think how I felt?

Whether I wanted you around?

Of course I did, but couldn't you have just been normal and backed down

To have a normal conversation where I don't have to stand my ground

You tell me you're proud

And how much I'd love to believe it

But I know in your eyes

That the drug's your gold pit

Whilst I'm the thing on the side

Which you gave up on and quite

Goodbye mi padre hope you have a blast

and see that your body will surely not last

And know I'll be here waiting for you to be

A father for not just a day but infinite
