Untitled

Last night I dreamed that you died
This isn't the first time that I had this dream
But this was the first time I didn't cry
I couldn't cry
Because isn't it true?
You died to me a while ago
Our tombstone reads 1984-1996
Beloved Father and daughter relationship
Daughter followed father everywhere
But that relationship ended
You controlled the relationship then
I was too young
The ball was in your court
You were the adult, who should have set the example
But now, that I'm an adult, I have decided to keep the relationship where it is
Dead
Dead to me
Dead to you
I tried to fix it
I tried to make amends
I tried to bring it back to life
But you did nothing
You didn't bother to help
You kept your distance
You don't even call
So when you died last night
In my sleep
It might as well be true
In life
In reality it is true
Because our relationship is dead
That of Father and daughter

But at least you know you tried
