Look
I’d like to help you
and it’s time
I’ve put money
in the account
you say you never had one

Look
the credit card
I made you tear up
I still get bills
the trailer park refuses
to keep you

Look
there is silent breathing
on my phone some nights
your ex brought
your baby
she’s on the mend

Look
your job lasted
a week
it was their fault
get rid of the cats
you can stay

Look
you are gonna get warm
dry for awhile
the room is safe
your meds are here
Dad I love you
