Father
the shadow gets darker
the hole gets deeper
still I love you
memories linger
with time some things never change
still I love you
like a book
I've read the back cover
like dreams I'll never recover
try to get Inside of you
only to get Inside myself
see your eyes
with tears I'm scared to show
still I love you
feeling age creep up and start to grab me
as my body tries to restrain me
my mind expands
I wish so much for you
I feel so much for you
unlike your fist It's only your
loneliness that scares me now
still I love you
I can't afford to give you my pity
you can't afford any more pity
I see your age
have you always been old
when did you stop scaring me
now It's only In my dreams
still I love you
you are loved
maybe more than you deserve
the world has let you down
or has time sent you a cruel blow
with the admiration and love of others
why can't you love yourself
why can't It be enough
still I love you
1 love you
like you sometimes loneliness
overtakes me
even then I still love you
still I love you
I've always loved you
I'll always love you
