The Cuddle Fish by Melodie Yvonne Ramey
You never knew how to love us right
or not love us at all
You were always all or nothing
not knowing love is all
You were lost and couldn’t find us
‘cause we weren’t down in a glass
You were blind and couldn’t see us
Until the “us” was past
Your peacock colored feathers won’t hide the wrong you done
Take your alcoholic feelings with you when you’re gone
Then one day you sobered up
And tried to come around
But your baby girl was old enough
She didn’t hear a sound
She said dear daddy you fucked up
And now my wings are gone
She said dear daddy I’m too old now
You waited far too long
Your peacock colored feathers won’t hide the wrong you done
Take your junkie feelings out of here now that you’re gone
