Screams
May 22 was the worst
Just gotten home from school
He wasn’t there
He had been gone for too long
When Mom came home she told me
He was gone
Never coming home
Screaming, lots of screaming
Pacing for hours
Checking the front door
Waiting to see him coming up the street
He never did
I still wait
For my dad to come home

My family
