Exquisite Corpse and Other Collaborations - 3. Sins of Our Fathers

A new Exquisite Corpse with @Mikiesboy. As before, only the last line of each stanza was shared.
A sensitive subject about the loss of absent fathers.

Memories of distant events

Too far gone now to relive

Still haunt the archives of innocence lost

 

Memories filed away in cabinets locked

Yet your specter ever tarries

My tears, never enough to move you

 

Father-figure was an unknown phrase

Only thought about in childhood dreams

Your absence was a blessing and a curse

 

You taught me what not to be

Lessons never to be forgotten

In spite of you, I grew into a man

 

They say the sins of the father

Are passed down to the son

But I am living proof of this fallacy

 

You chose to not be my father

Now you're the dust of my past

My future is where love and life lie

 


Thank you for reading.
