I was never young
the sound of
my drunken
fathers
footsteps:
heavy...
uneven,
walking down
the hallway
to my bedroom
door
fear

I am so sorry , my friend !
I hope over the years , you have come to terms
with this , and healed enough , to own your power ,
and forgive , yet never forget !
( It feels strange to "like" this poem , but I do appreciate you sharing it )

To like what is real, either the ugly or beautiful, is the cost of being human .
Thank you for the kind words though. They are very meaningful.

Thanks RWCJR, but I'm afraid my youth has sped away through the doors of years. Thanks for reading.

The past is the past but sometimes the memory comes knocking.

The limbic system of my brain has been stilled, however, the memories remain.
