Almost two years have passed
since I last saw you.
Almost two years
since I last cried myself to sleep in your home.
Almost two years
since I made the decision that changed who I am.
All I ever wanted was a father who loved me
but you were always drunk
not caring about me.
It hurt to see you drink.
It hurt to see you destroying yourself.
It hurt to see you in a coma
and in the end I couldn't take it.
You chose drinking over me
and now it has been almost two years
since I stopped being your daughter.
Author notes
So this was my hardest decision; cutting my dad out of my life.
