Even Glass Bottles Break In Time
Inside I feel the loneliness
Never to know the thoughts you may have instilled
Upon me
Many years I have waited and searched
Today I have found you yet you remain hidden
Needed you throughout my years
I believe you needed me as well
Alcohol has brought your soul to deception
Belittled my sister's health
She lives no more though
Mother has gone beyond the grave also.
I am here in loneliness
My desires mean nothing because I need you so
You were never there to comfort me
Yet that may not be your fault completely
I have an open mind
I do not point fingers without cause
Still, you are old now and in need to become a man
You are obligated to me whether or not you want to be
I did not ask to be here
The choice was not mine
Accept me, you are the reason I live.
Do not hide behind the grand aluminum
Even glass bottles break in time
Our time is measured here
Selfishness is the only hell you will know
I love you, there is nothing to change that
So much loss I have endured over the years
Why must I wait to endure the loss of you?
I seek togetherness with you
Deep inside you, I would say you do too
End this facade of sorrows
You know I love you
Allow me to call you father to your face.
