delayed realisation

this one is about my dad who has CHD. everytime he gets angry he is in danger of having a heart attack and i didn't know until he actually sat me down and told me. a big guilt trip.

It’s funny how much fighting can do to a person. Worsen their condition of grim mortality. The hourglass favours the young and the calm, none of which we were and now look what we have done? Not a day goes by without aggressive interaction but knowing that is of essence is too much of a distraction. Distressed and demoralized, this is hard to comprehend; the defences begin to falter to the imminent loss of a friend. Weakened by verbal attacks, the hearts health began to retract. This is the consequence of domestic warfare, thought to be a myth of ignorant legend and now there’s a steep price for the blatant negligence. No more will there be conflict; no more will the hate be apparent. But for what reason? It’s that hate that will make me lose a parent. 

Author's Note

the focus on this wasn't grammar so if there's mistakes just ignore it. i try to keep it spoken word, so if it doesn't flow as well as you think it can feel free to tell :)
