famous

her father was a celebrity to her
she believed he was to the whole world

big beyond big
important beyond important

and he chose HER!

they were closer than close
they had secrets
they had plans

never mind what happened at night

look the other way
don't think about it
don't feel

and in an instant it was over
all the fame, the glory, the specialness

in came the solitude, the abandonment, the ordinary

don't think about it
don't feel

it's over
was it an illusion?
the promise a lie?

what did she do wrong?
turn ugly? turn bad?

 

i'm sorry dad
