Dear Dad,
Everytime you look at me...

Night is falling, the streetlamps shining through...
I feel the tingle of the shadows on my neck...

I turn my eyes
to the sky...

Why try?

I can feel your presence all around me
pulling me deeper, holding me close...

I'm so tired
my vision failing...

I'm watching you fade to nothing
gently slipping into oblivion...

My pain is more than denial
more than the painful fact that you won't be...

I'm stranded in the darkness
and all I can hear is your heart beat...

My efforts weren't nearly enough
I tried so hard but...

Lie to me
I don't want the truth...
