A girl

stood and watched

as her father

destroyed

himself

but he

didn’t know

that if he

went down

everyone else

would too

or maybe he did

and he just

didn’t care

He was always

changing, traveling, moving,

She tried to keep up

but she pressed too hard

on the gas

and it broke

Left her in the dust

but when

the girl looks

hard enough

she can see

the good

inside of

the man

who just wanted

to get high

on coke

alcohol

women

Until one day

Christmas Day

when he cracked

and as predicted

they did too

And she tried

once again

to look for the good

but it was

gone
