Not enough. It’s never enough.
He’s waiting for my answer as I taste
the tip of my cigarette. This smoke,
the only thing that’s ever remains
consistent. Slowly killing away of
what little of me remains. He needs
my attention, and it’s all used up.
Exhaling out, I’ll never be enough.


Dope…I have actually felt this way before so I can relate….your words took me right there for a sec…powerful piece.

Powerful is correct…I lost my father to lung cancer several years after my parents divorced. I can’t even find the words to describe how deeply you captured his struggle. Amazing!
