only

How Can I Fix It
Everything was great
And wonderful
It’s not like we are estranged
But ever since I came out
The bridge between us
Broke

There is nothing more weak
And pathetic
And comic
And dark
As the figure of my father
He is cheap
Like a eaten
Crusped
Apple
And I am his daughter.

Dad
Brown eyes frame thick lashes
Sad side smile that breaks her heart
Unconditional love in his hands
