Dad, Please Rest In Peace
By K
Laying down on the seaside,
Breathing cold air with weary-eyed,
I know dad was there— under the light,
I can see his face in random places every night.
I remember when I was five,
I'm drowning on the deep part of the sea,
I can't swim, I hate waves and ocean,
I can't really hold my breath deep down.
So, he tried to save me from death,
Dad, I'm sorry I badly need your help,
But the waves take him away and tears is all he ever left,
He saved me but he didn't save himself.
Maybe ocean takes his soul,
Maybe waves was the killer that never be in prison,
Or maybe it's just me blaming nature,
But the truth is I was the one who drag him down to the shore.
I can barely see his shadow,
Sometimes, it was outside my window,
Sometimes, it was right in front of me,
I'm so scared Daddy.
I do not know what he really want,
It is the justice, right?
Or he want to blame me for what happened that night?
All I know is he was there for me to hunt.
I can hear his breath,
In every waves,
I can see his face,
In every moon phase.
Thank you for giving me ease,
But I'm scared in spirit,
Dad, all I want is peace,
I hope you'll find yours, please.
