Disgust for admiration
Pain for happiness
Stranger for daughter
Stranger for father

Day after day
with no excuse,I took it
seconds for years
I took comfort in myself

But all in vain
For today,I am a comparison
of what I never was
never will be

One unknown mistake
One misunderstanding
Many words
Many tears

clip clipity clop
The words rush through
Invading my thoughts
Planting a permanent tattoo

I consider words
But my lips don't let me
I consider action
But I am a shattered mess

I take it
with no excuse
My comfort
a pen and paper
