Father

My heart is broken
The closer you get to me, the
Further I get from myself.

I think I hate you.

You are selfish, inconsiderate
You've chosen a life away from me

But I've changed in your absence,
Weathered by time apart
From you
From us

Alone, I have grown a shell
Upon my spine
To defend myself
Form a second wave of pain
You have caused the
Metamorphosis of me
I am no longer your
Baby, Baby

I carry armor on my
Spineless back

I inch quietly through the days
DON'T PUSH ME!
Don't call me to go faster
As I crawl back to you

This is about a broken relationship and the path towards resurrecting it.
