Tiger Eyes

Listen to this Crowded House. How it speaks to your soul and opens your mind. It takes you back to the days before he died.    
Before he was murdered.  
You finally notice the people on Father's Day, and how it hurts to see that love. Your heart aches, you wish it was a heart attack so you could see him.    
   
   
Now someone else left, even though he wasn't a real father. He was still there.    
A lonely child again, I'm not surprised. They threw objects at each other and wrecked the room. He packed a solitary bag and drove away. I saw the red lights filling my room while he backed up his car. I stayed staring at the window watching something drag away with him. I cried. I felt numb. I died.
