Like There’s Nothing Wrong

Poem

For my father 

I’m unsure whether to blame pride or fear

It pains me

Forced to be his towel, to wipe away his tears

My heart aches

For I’m the only one who knows, you see

Can’t I return time

Because it has cheated me

Return time to the maker of time

So I may have as much none time as needed

I’m forced to watch as he enters phase three Reliving the past

Watching with keen eye

Praying for more time

So he may see what becomes of me

Dreading the day I meet goodbye

So I pretend all is fine

Like there’s nothing wrong

With this father of mine
