Alas I Can Not

Alas I Can Not

A Poem by Cats Eye

 

So badly I want to see his face
Hear his voice
Have him near me
But alas I can not
 
I want to be able
To touch my real father
Not some picture I have of him
But alas I can not
 
I want to look him
In the eyes
When were talking to one another
But alas I can not
 
I want to know
That when he’s had a bad day
He’s truly had a bad day at work
But alas I can not
 
I want to see
Everything that is happening
Between the two of us
But alas I can not.
