I remember waking from some dreamless sleep, and I was in your arms, I was in your arms. I remember.. the sweet smell of your flesh, the scent that was totally your own. It is all I have left, it is all I have left. I remember the beauty of your skin, the skin of the earth. The brown skin that was just a little darker than my own. It was just a little darker than my own. I remember your hair, I would twine my fingers in the inky darkness of your hair. Hair so long I could have hidden behind it. I should have hidden there and never came out, I wish I could have never came out. I remember you asking me to tell my mother that you loved her, you wanted me to ask her to come back to you. She never did, she never did. I remember my mother telling me that you were just a drunk. She said you drank to quiet the voices of your grandmothers crying out inside you. All I remember of you ...is that you were my hero, you were just my hero. I remember one day, you were no longer around. and I missed you, ohhh, how I have missed you. Daddy..look at me!! I'm all grown up now.. and did I tell you, I saw you the other day, I turned around and there you were. Daddy, you looked right at me, you looked right at me, with those eyes that are my own. And you didnt even recognize me, you didn't even recognize me. I still didn't get the chance to tell you, I wish I had the guts to tell you, that you were always my hero, no matter what.. you have always been my hero. |

Everything is making me cry. This is written so very well. Tears just couldn't be held back. |
