Please forgive me
You asked me to be
Your vessel
In this world

But How can I be of help
When I am so broken
And cracked?
I can barely contain
myself
I went to such great lengths to keep you happy
Now I'm broken and tired and no one's fixing me up
So I gotta fix myself
For those who gave it their all but ended up badly hurt in the process.

If I'm not holding your hand
then you refuse to walk with me.

I wish that character flaw of yours
would find a porch to die beneath.

I wouldn't mind smelling the rot
for weeks before finding it.

He never loved you.
He loved the idea of you.

I felt afraid
of an old, muted man.
Sitting near me on park bench.
To my ears came a soothing voice
singing,
*nothing's gonna hurt you baby..
Will we meet again, like strangers?

As all things, dear: in time.
We raise our boys the same way we raise our guns.
Somehow we are confused when they grow up to be rifles.
