I don't like snakes
I hate bees
But the one thing I am truly afraid of is planes
Not for the reason you might think
Because 9/11 didn't change my view
Just confirmed it
I worry he might be the one
He might be next
His plane might be the next one to make that last landing
And I worry that my last conversation might be a fight
His last words from might be I hate you
An poetry can't convey the emotions behind the fear of losing my dad
So afghanistan might be his last home
And India might abduct him permanently
Because I fear a broken home
I fear futures frozen in stone time capsules as medusa gives me a wink
And lucifer licking my soul with worry
This could be it he whispers
So I cringe everytime that plane departs
And jets bring fiery tears of those in danger
So 1 week is 7 days outside of my comfort zone of travel
I just want my dad back
Forever
But the world had him first
And he brings home the bacon
But why does the pig have to be on another continent
And living behind an airport just cements
The feeling of regret
That wells within me when I fight
And he leaves
Which I know might be the last time I see him
So why can't I stop fighting?
I guess it's because he keeps leaving
So vicious circles rotate
And turbines speed up
As I watch him leave again
