oh, you fragile
misguided thing

your care& lust
worn on your sleeve

troubled mind
struggling to conceive

oh, the heavy words
i had to breathe

and make no mistake
those stains are tears
your humanity is there
though humanity is cruel

dealing with the cards
you were dealt
in the only ways
you know how

make no mistake
you're allowed to feel

and pain is all
you know is real

i am the cause,
i'm at the wheel

but not like how
you felt appealed

and you walk off
night guides your way

to where or whom
you wish to lay

and that's okay

different
but misguided just the same

walking the aimless
borders of insane

thought you found warmth
to rest your weary bones

but tonight i'm walking home
alone

Beer, beer
philosophy, gin
self searching
empire building
more beer
world dissecting, self destruction
beer and
spinning
&
spinning to sleep

sweat drips
down our backs

our heavy breathing
a symphony
the atmosphere
is ecstasy

we are one
we are one
in body
we are one

caressing
and
nurturing
the soul

stimulation
of the mind
nearly out
of control

this piece of time
dirtied and fine
is as much yours
as it is mine

kiss your cries
and in the bed we lie
passion bursts

as you claw me goodnight

Grace
you have fallen

Grace
was once your name

your grace
was what transcended
the days in waves
sent to my brain

I hope that his feet
can move quick enough

to keep

up with the way
you floats
and sways

he'll need his
wit to hide
the self sabotage
balled up inside

controlling
corroding

i see it
though now i'm numb

It should have been
but never was
& now there's nothing
to be done
but let It wither
let It die
and be
scorched out in the sun

in that crowded square
it was just you & I
their stares were welcomed
their stares stayed out of mind

your precious child
not my own
and usually I hate children
but when you needed to
step away
and
left him in my lap
and
I almost dropped him

I almost died

I couldn't stand the idea
of living with myself
after doing something
like that

You came back to him crying
like you knew he would be
new company don't
compare to mommy

His crying didn't just hurt my
ears
I actually cared for his
approval

& you just smiled
and adjusted your glasses

in that moment in that
crowded square
under your approving gaze
I am happy

so young for a child
you can feel the judgement
we're surrounded by

but even though the child
isn't mine, I take it in stride
because the world sees me
hand in hand with you

destroy me
like I want you to
the way i know
you want to do

wrap around
squeeze me dry
pigtails
and those socks knee high

i'm yours
to toy with
to adore
the one who begs
and is longing for

the way you bring me
near a cry
for pleasure principles
undefined

exhausted
catharsis
fulfillment
it's caustic

there's no amount that will suffice

but here i'll be
nauseous
until
the next fix

when you come and own my nights

we've only gone so far,
and so much more far to go

Brother just lay your burdens low

Stay out of your head,
keep busy and row

Brother just lay your burdens low

keep your head high
higher than before

Brother please lay your burdens low

Though it not much now
in the stars it's shown

In starlight lay your burdens low

Too heavy at times
but I'm there, just know

I'll carry your burdened self back home
I'll always have faith, o' brother of mine.
