I didn’t grow up fatherless
The complete opposite to be completed honest
I had too many fathers thrown my way in my whole 21 years
And I find myself drawn to the small things I’ve taken from each of them
in you
You’re stubborn
Full of empathy
Consumed by sadness
Taken by madness
Devoured by another lover
You’re broken like they all have been
Although there is more
A bit of something that no one has
Yet I can only describe as an awakening in me
Something that has completely destroyed my sense of reality
My entirety has been engulfed by you
Your being
Soul and body
I thought if I found the things my mother found in a man that it would help me find the something that I thought I needed
I was both wrong and right
I needed to find you
To know you
To know me
To know that I needed to love me to love you
This was something that no one could teach me
I had to learn
And I thank you for teaching me
By allowing me to love you

I write sometimes to reduce the madness that consumes me.
