HIM
Twinkle Rai 2005 (Banaras)
My dearest dad,
I do love that man
But I think only for the sole purpose of him being my father
Because of that stupid title, I still have to wake up every day and have to love him, or at least pretend to
All the gaps he left in my childhood,
My childhood, I was a child…
Why should I love someone whose presence felt like a burden to my own mother?
Why should I love someone who never felt like home?
