DEAR DAD
-Words-

Dear dad, please don’t go

The realization that my mother

Is becoming a widow

That my boys are losing their papa

That my brother and I

Are losing our dad

My wife is losing a second father

The weight is crushing me, I can barely

Breath, I can’t cope

I’m grasping for hope, in a dark room

With no windows or door

I’m only 33, I still need you dad, my kids

Need you, this isn’t fair

This isn’t right, you worked 40 years

To be the man you had to be

Now your time to sit back and smell the

Roses, but everything is withered

And decayed, I can’t bare it, watching you

Lay there, just wondering

When will this all end? Why him and not me? He doesn’t

Deserve it, I’m so lost with you still here

I don’t even know

What I’ll do when your gone. I hate this

Sickness in you

If I could, I’d cut it out and give it to myself

Just to spare you the pain

Dear dad, your boys need you, please don’t go, just hold on

Fight this. I feel so selfish, wanting you

Here, but I can’t let go

I can’t accept this is the end, I’ll break every mirror I see

Because all I see looking back at me

Is you, I have your chin

Your hair, facial expressions, how am

I suppose to ever

See my image again without seeing you?

Dear dad, don’t go

Your wife needs you, this battle has taken

Away any faith I may

Have had left, don’t tell me you’ll pray for me My dad isn’t needed more

In heaven than here with me, there isn’t

Some bigger purpose or

Some bigger lesson to this, this won’t make me a stronger man

What the fuck is your plan? Don’t go silent

Now god, I’m listening

Open minded and open spirited. I’d do

Anything to save him

Repent everything, praise your name

End my fucking life

And give him whatever strength I have

Answer me damn you, I don’t blame

You, I just need to

Understand, I need to know what to

Tell my kids as

They cry because papa died, speak up

Come on man

What the fuck is your plan? I can’t deal

I can’t cope, I have no hope

I’m completely fucking broke, this shit

Is a goddamn joke

I’m beginning to choke, dear dad

Open your eyes

I know you hear me, I love you, please

Don’t go, I’m only

33 years old, we have so many more

Memories to hold

That Hudson won’t fix itself, I can’t fix

Myself, this has and

Will destroy me, I don’t know if heaven

Is real, but I hope so

Id sure like to see you again some day.

Dear dad, please

Don’t go, I’m only 33 years old.
