Daddy's gone
Brother
The basement looked-
Felt-
So empty
But the memories stayed
Stained-
The walls
And your brain
That was love to you
I'm sure it's why
The dark doesn't scare you
Because it held you
When the sun
Couldn't meet you
Dad is gone
Avery
But the cellar
Still feels like home
You locked yourself in
Picking at your bones
Where the windows shattered
Not understanding why
And your eyes were stolen
When the colors died
I'm sorry
That your mind is falling
Into a maddened past
I'm sorry
That damage
Is still intact
I love you brother
Please stop
Crawling through broken glass
