Father
never content
or happy
always growing
never stopping
the overwhelming sense
that intoxicates your every move
makes your bones stiff
the nerves confused
pupils wide
stomach tighten
makes your spine gasp
as you reach for a hand
thats not there
stops your breath
that could have said something
lips blue
with perspiration
rolling down a face
friendly with the anger
and pain
and sadness
and overused words
that shouldn't even be used
in the first place
