The Day Dad Died I
I had a dream.
My foundations collapsed;
An unfortunate car accident.
My father no more.
I had a dream.
A bad omen that lingered
It’s presence unwelcome
But it served as a warning.
I had a dream.
The reality much worse.
Two swans broken apart
By a raven.
I had a dream.
My father is still with me,
But he’s less my father
More of a traitor.
I had a dream.
His heart still beats,
But not for his swan
And never for me.
I had a dream.
I’m left alone
Everyone’s too far gone.
I can’t reach them.
I had a dream.
I’m the anchor.
I weigh them down.
But they’re not near me.
I had a dream
On the day dad died.
