I Look For You
I look for you,
I look for a cliff, so you can pull me up.
I look for heartbreaks, so you can mend them.
I look for rebellion, so you can frown at me.
Heck, at least you’ll be looking at me.
I look for you,
In the depths of despair,
In the cracks of toxic relationships
In the torment of my failed dreams.
In the vague I love you
In the scattered heart pieces on my floor.
But you haunt me,
Every memory i have of you haunts me.
But I look for you, I still look for you.
In the men i love,
In their blood shot eyes
In their aimed fists,
In their intimidating screams,
In their deteriorating, pernicious
Envious, overbearing, Grasp.
I look for you,
The only man who broke my heart
Before i even knew i had one.
But Papa, i still look for you.
