I once saw you
The way you wanted me to
As faultless
And kind
A perfect gentlemen
Dad
Thats until the split
When my heart used to sit
In the palm of your hands
The perfect man
You became a partier
You abandoned me at her front door
So you could go party
Some More
Every sip of poison you drank
Every heart you broke
Made me choke
And fall deeper into
A never ending dark hole
I begged one night for you to stay
For you swayed in a way
That I knew you were not okay
But to my dismay
You left anyway
Mom started to notice
My sudden change
Like liquor to the mind
I was numb
It was not a stage
The pages I would turn
Were my escape from the burn
So when you left
With your bags in hand
I was to engrossed
In my own world to understand
Frankly at that point I did not give a damn
So I didn't give a hug to my once
Dear ol'e dad
Who lost himself in the lights
Not even putting up a Fight
And never coming back into Sight
