All That’s Missing Is You


Windows open and feeling Fall

I understand about losing it all

I know my dad

Spent days wandering the streets

Ribbons of red falling

from his wrists

Me and my brother miles apart

And an emotional mess

Rehab stints and halfway houses

The late night phone calls 

When the alcohol would speak

Of apologies and missed opportunities

The handwritten letters that I still keep

Confessing regrets and love for me

I don't know which is worse

Worrying if you will survive

Or

Not having to worry anymore...
