Dad you chose alcohol
And gave up walking me down the aisle
Or to teach me how to ride a bike
You chose a glass
Over a house
Over A women to whom you promised to be there with throughout
You chose a pint
A whiskey
With a brisk of ice
Over the people you brought into the world with the gift of life
You chose your pain over us
You chose your suffering over a way out
Instead of asking for help you dug your grave deeper with every glass of vermouth
Dad, i would like you to know
It was terrible growing up without you
I hated you for what u put mom through
I hated every fight, every fake promise
Tears that rolled down your eyes as you picked that glass up over a four year old me
It broke us long back
And parts of me are broken still
I paid fr your addiction more than u ever will
Awesome 👍
