fathers day is crap.

i don't need
the uneasy feeling
that comes with knowing
i don't have someone to call today

i don't need
to think of your smile
or your laughter
to look at you adoringly
as we celebrate your role in my life


i don't need
someone to call "daddy"
to instill the never ending
un-reality
that you are supposed to be the god
of my world

i don't need
to be sentimental
about someone
who chose death and uncertainty
over life and responsibility.

i don't need
to be wasting my time
thinking about that empty hole
you left in my chest.

i don't need
to be reminded
that today is the day
other children are celebrating
having someone in their life
who does the job
you quit when you put that rope around your neck.

yes, today i am angry, today makes me wish there was a hell for you to rot in.
