Father's Day

I have hated you.
And I have screamed.
I've been so angry at how you
captivated all my dreams.
I've been so mad . . .

But tonight, all I can seem to do
Is cry
Tears trace your life past my smiles
And my soul dies
I've died so many times . . .

I am filled with sorrow
And my heart aches
Have you seen the moon tonight?
It's more beautiful than I have words to say
Do you know I look at beauty
and I slowly break . . .

Music fills my ears
While rain engulfs my sight
I can't explain the pain I feel
Tonight . . .
I am so sad . . .

I have loved you
You were the shining stars
That dimpled my velvet sky
But now you're so far
So far . . .

Your hands touched a miracle
A dream of dazzled form
You squeezed the life from something more
Than all you'd seen before
And all you'll ever know . . .

I have hated you
In my dreams and when I wake
But now you must set sail
You've taken all you'll take
For I will say good bye . . .

Good bye.

I’m a bit timid to say much about this. I can not identify with losing a father, but I can a loved one. This is spinning work. It feels a little out of control but with perfect meaning. Kind of like you had more to say, so much to say, yet you couldn’t ge

This has touched my very heart. The love and the pain, sometimes it is hard to tell the two apart.

Yes there is pain pouring out. Sometime we don't appreciate things and people while we have them and we cry for them when they are lost… beautiful ~D
