Happy Fathers Day

 

 

Happy Fathers Day

nineteen years later

you're trying to learn

 

it's not too late

for me to

know you

 

but your times run short

on gaining her forgiveness

that getting to know her

 

I can learn who you are

in the way artists learn each other

but a father figure, you're late

as the man that stands

you can't really be a solid Dad

 

that's fine, no worries

got use to this early

she's still setting flames in your life

as punishment...payment

for nights you weren't home

 

Happy Father's Day

nineteen years later

at least you're finally trying
