Papa

Today the wind howls

Dust in my eyes

Tears rolling

So many lies

I’ve forgotten something

Hair whips me

Leaves rustling

Hard to breathe

Headache coming

Try to look up

I’ve forgotten something

Broken cup

Fell out of my hand

This morning

After her call

Eyes now burning

Trees swaying

Tips touching the ground

Leaves swirling

Mind in a bound

What did I forget

I would soon regret

A vision of you

What is the date

Myself I hate

You I had forgotten

Whilst laughing at videos

Sad am I now

But will cover it up

A better place you are

away from these lies

Don’t worry

I’ll still look after her

And her children

I promise you
