NO MORE!!

It was June 19th,
I was listening to a song.
It was famous that year,
But the year has gone.

My dad said life is easy at that stage,
But I didn’t understand,
Because I never felt the pain.
But I saw my dad—
He was drunk every day,
And at night, he was late.

For that little boy,
It was hard to embrace.
So one day,
I knocked on his door—
It wasn’t locked,
2 a.m. the time.

My heart broke
When I saw him crying.
It’s still a nightmare
When I close my eyes.
I sat beside him and said,
“It’s tough, I know,
And I will always be here. When life gets low,
Come and hold my hand my dear. I can see what you’re hiding,
I can see all those scars I am not blind. I will gently wipe your tears,
I can see all those things deep inside,
I can see the pain you bear.”

And then,
He smiled,
Said, “It’s okay,
It’s alright.”
He wiped his tears
And put on a fake smile
To assure me
He was fit and fine.

That night,
I slept in his embrace.
Lost in space. I thought life’s fun,
But I never tried
To find out what was on his mind.

Now, what can I hold?
Now, what can I cure?
Got no embrace,
To stay warm As I am left alone
In this dark world,
With tears of blood,
At the fact that he is NO MORE.
