I spoke on the phone with him today,
It was a conversation I had never had.
A doleful tone throughout,
I explained to him my wrongdoing,
And he was indifferent.
What was I hoping to achieve?
Well, for one, I hoped that he had a more dramatic response
A shout, a nag, a lecture
But instead, he simply said
“It is your responsibility, I shall no longer carry your burden.”
And I was stunned.
I must have been spoiled all of these years,
and have never realized it.
He recounted the times that he should not have defended me
He retold the the story of my tragic past,
And I simply listened.
It is high time that I explain honestly as well.

My pleasure. I skimmed through your gallery, and thought that it will be a great idea to explore your writings. They're more imaginative than the ones in my head, so keep it up!
