I’ll skip the color and just say
that’s it’s nice to have a nice boy
enjoy you.

Can't stop
Won't stop
Feeling things
Buried in emotions
Like wet sand
At that beach
I never asked to be here

From where I last left off
I was handed what is the now
moments are chains unbroken
I can't escape anyhow-

yet my heart has not wavered
nor what I pledged as love's sacred vow
from where we long ago started
to that undying faith we must bow.

My mother groand! my father wept,
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud:
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.

Struggling in my fathers hands:
Striving against my swaddling bands:
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother’s breast.

1069

Paradise is of the option.
Whosoever will
Own in Eden notwithstanding
Adam and Repeal.

I know I've done absolutely nothing
to prove myself worthy
of receiving anything remotely close
to a second chance.

But I hope
if there's any part left of you
that remembers what was
you might give me one anyway.

Lest I fade into dust.
