I loved you
I mean, I still love you
Even when you got confused
Even when you got mean
I thought I'd cut through
Bring you back with reason
And practicality
I thought you'd listen to me
When I said "dad
I think you need some help
You might be overwhelmed
But we're here to help
You heal"
Now I miss you
And the shape you left
In the atmosphere
What a nest
Your beating heart could be
Now I look for you
In the corners of my room
Wait for hairs to stand on end
Waiting for a haunting
To hear you say "Jessie
I think you need some help
You might be overwhelmed
But I'm here to help
You heal"
