Father

If time could be rearranged would I change it?

If life was on the line would I care to save it?

When you walked away the pain was small, 

But the aftermath, you didn't see it all, 

How could you when you were blinded with yourself in mind, 

The wreckage still burning what you left behind. 

No-one cares anymore, 

No-one understands why we're all still sore, 

Sorrow isn't just from the past, 

The present and the future worse than before. 

The promises broken,

Like the ones you made when I was a child lets be honest. 

Words that are fighting to be spoken, 

From more than just your youngest.

What you will never realise, 

The wounds are deepening with every careless mention,

Recovery is impossible. 

Even with thoughtless intentions. 

The truth is you really will never know me. 

And we both will never know the answer to the question, 

Who are you?
