My Fault
It’s literally
A trigger-reaction.
I didn’t mean to lean over my bed
Hit the light button on my clock
And realize today’s date.
I hadn’t noticed earlier
What today was;
It completely slipped my mind.
But once I saw the date
Digitalized on my clock
I sat up in bed
And reached for my phone.
I needed comfort
And his caring voice was all I cared to hear.
He sympathized
But knew not what to say.
I grabbed the teddy bear he gave me
As tears streamed down my soft cheeks.
I laid back in bed and thought about
What happened
Twenty-one months ago.
I could have stopped it,
But I was too selfish not to.
To this day,
I still don’t forgive myself.
I let my father die.
