The Missing Man

by the-east-wind-is-coming

OC Lily Mellark reflects on the impact her father left on her after hearing he abandon her and her mother when she was only a month year old. If you want me to continue this in story format, I will, just give me a quick review saying so. Hope you enjoy it!

Footsteps echo,
Thud, thud, thud
The steps familiar but fading
My memories of him vanishing
Not forever, but for now.

His voice raises, screaming
Crying, trembling, shaking
This missing man I hate.
The same missing man
I can't help but love.
