    I wrote this for my father today because I am going far away soon and I realized that I have a lot to take care of here before I leave and time is running out. please comment so i can fix it before i give it to him:0


    I went running to the door
    each day around 5.
    Waiting for the engine to shut off.
    A false sense of security
    brewed up just for me
    with the ingredients
    of good intentions and humanity
    while your soul had not settled
    a wandering heart
    I waited for you to come in.
    You waited to depart.
    My first broken heart.

    You passed through that cold steel door
    from time to time again.
    No longer did I run.
    with boxes full of earthly possessions
    that you would hand to me.
    I would open them.
    How expensive emptiness can be.
    But I never judged you like the others
    I only took your hand in love.

    Love is something I once didnt have to
    know how to do.
    But time has gone by
    and one day you looked at me...
    and I looked at you.
    And although I have your eyes
    You no longer recognized me.
    Nor I you.

    Stranger.
    Don't let me be strange anymore.
