[Other] A Passive Goodbye

[Cyanide Addiction]

There's a million things I want to hear
But a passive goodbye isn't one of them
I've got a lot to lose but not a lot to fear
So I don't know from where these feelings stem

I've lost more than I ever wanted too
But Still I hold on gratefully to what I have still
You're one of the few that ignorantly stands true
In a sea of people that don't give me my fill

I could cry over what has left me
Or I could cherish that which has never left
I choose to hold that which I can still see
And keep it safe from some late night theft

So I haven't lost all that I ever craved
Just a few stones that I can no longer throw
They were useless as roads never walked but paved
And it was better that they let me go

So I don't really care why these feelings arise
I just let them go like useless stones
And I realize that passive goodbyes cover up long lies
Standing alone breaks hearts not bones...​

Eh... It's been a while. And I was feeling something, that wasn't directed at a girl, believe it or not, but at my father. He's a little rough at times, and if I didn't know better, I'd think he didn't want me around, but he's not that way. He just wants to see me succeed in life. At least, succeed more than he has. He's used giving me the boot as a threat before, and given me time-limits to get out on my own, but I think he's more worried about what me, and my little sister are going to do when he's gone. I'm sure he wants to see us proving we can survive on our own. It's hard to explain, I guess.

No one ever said being a parent was simple. Nor is being the eldest son either for that matter.
