Daddy,
Where are you?
The monsters have returned to my closet
When I close my eyes
They come to devour me
And bed sheets are no longer safe enough
Won’t you slay them and save me?
Daddy,
What’s wrong?
Your breath smells like the cats
When they can’t wake up from their nap
There is nothing left in your eyes
Where there was love for me just this morning
Did I do something wrong?
Daddy,
Where am I?
The walls around me are moist
And crumble under my fingertips like fresh baked brownies
I can’t find the light or my breath
And I think my body is crawling
Is this where mommy went when she was bad?

This started out as prose about a woman leaving her drunk of a husband, turned into a poetic goodbye letter from the teenage daughter of a drunk, and then into this. I just wasn't sure what I wanted out of it and I hope this version turned out alright.
