Tom
I long to be between thy skin. Lust and desire are beyond my sense.
Strobes of light bounce around you
And the forces keep pulling me in.
Im out of my depth in this moment,
But the forces keep pulling me in.

The mystery compels me forward
And the shadow keeps me away.
Out of the darkness you appeared
To take me to solace once more.

Passion seeps from your words,
And the forces keep pulling me in.
Im scared to let myself go,
But the forces keep pulling me in.
the worse it gets each time
the less i care
the less love that i feel
if there was any to exist
the worse it gets each time
i need a painless way
i need to escape
******* hell
i loved you like heaven
i was the devil
and i adored you as god
If you could know
Just in time the connection

If you could sense
That I know what is doing

If you could touch
The heart that beats

You would know my love

Just feel

Feel with your intuition
You would know

Feel with the scenes
You chose to ignore

Feel with your mind
You know what I am thinking

Just see

See what your eyes do not
The heart will tell all

Please see
My father died
from a gun shot wound
to the head

self-inflicted

Don't get all weird about it.

Fathers die
and their passing
though certain
is rarely easy.

So what can I say of this man
so many years
after his emphatic end?

I can say what Whitman said
of Lincoln:
"O Captain, my Captain.
Rise up and hear the bells."

But he will not.

He was ever-present
wise and alert
a boxer in life
a fighter in every way.

And I grew up with the gloves on
quick
elusive
and thanks to him
successful in every ring.  

He died
******* on a lit tobacco stick

Emphysema was gonna
take him down
so he pulled his own trigger
saved his family that way
though that's a longer tale

Therefore
and whereas
this is a belated requiem
for a man I loved.
My Captain.
Dear and departed
these many years
may he rest in peace
as he never rested
in life.
I'm a hypocrite
A *****
A criminal
And a mistake

Those are the thoughts of my peers
I'm forever stuck between wanting to agree with them and wanting to disagree because I know the truth
But knowing the truth can mean so little when compared to lies others are blinded by
You
Are
So
Broken
My
Darling*

When he whispered those words to me I immediately hated him

And I will always hate him
