A whole entire life fits into a box
The house is empty now
And I await the future
A future of deep regrets
But not by me
A future of relearning a man
The way he walks, and talks
His idiosyncrasies
I have always loved the man
But the real struggle is to admit it
To admit I have missed him
Longed to be with him again
I don’t know who my father is anymore
But now that my past is packed into boxes
I suppose my only purpose and my only home
Is him
This is a very personal and real poem. I initially thought it to be about romantic love and then it takes a turn to be about parental love, well done!
