Dinner - is this what you call dinner?
Why did you make it like that?
You've been cooking for so many years and you still cook like this?
I'm not eating this - I'm making my own food
You are:
Normal, funny, quiet, smart
Father, husband, brother, son, friend
Hurtful words, hurtful slaps sometimes
A dinner critique
If dinner was a metaphor for you, I'd call you rotten chicken
You broke her down like a chicken who couldn't express his feelings without pecking
You were rotten from work you didn't realize that your words were more hurtful than anyone should take
But you're also my father
You raised me
Gave me security and attention
I wasn't to hate you because I wasn't your victim
Now you've left the dinner table
You cook dinner for yourself, it's how you want it to be
You and mom had different tastes, it was only compatible sometimes
Without you, our dinner critiques are kinder
You want to retire, be alone, you don't want to hurt - I can see that
Mom wants to talk about the problems
You're not scared of problems, except when they were relationship problems
They're always relationship problems
I bring my partner over for dinner
He's kind of a dinner critique but I don't know his harshness
I tell him I won't be a housewife
I'm too nice and I don't want to be someone's dinner
I'm too nice and I don't want to be someone's dinner
