Forever and Always,
Your Best Friend

Thank me for nothing
Thank me for everything
Thank me for the breakfast letter
That you said could've been better

Thank me for the half visible tenement
Thank me for the sake of betterment
Thank me for the flower filled torment
That you said you coulda' paid with pennies of pride

Thank me for the curling iron burns
Thank me for the reeling steel turns
Thank me for the roaring ringing laughter
That you said was nothing but the push of a button

Thank me for the pencil shave early bird specials
Thank me for introducing you to dear old Racheal
Thank me for showing you there ain't nothing to show
That you said was wrapped in a blood splattered bow

Thank me for the books that took you to the final nook
Thank me for the tooth you chipped in the late booth
Thank me forsooth shake you all real loose
That you said you could have done by early noon

Thank me for the grass stain after pains
Thank me for the sass that made your wrists feel lame
Thank me for the ****** historical aftermath
That you said was the bread but not upon a summer

Thank me for the nineteen hour car drive
Thank me for the turn scene under the high beam
Thank me for the burn breathe better see
That you said I was nothing but stubborn and bein' me

Thank me
No
Don't thank me
I've got to get on the go
Back and to the left
For the theft of the heart
Is the worst
As well as
The best

Timothy Baxter: An intellectual genius with the emotional intelligence of a five year old
so thank you for these closed lips
and thank you for the impeccable hair line
thank you for the one too many thoughts keeping me up at 4 AM
thank you for my 5'7 stature
and thanks for all the self-loathing
thanks for the rent
and thanks for making me love hating responsibility
thank you

Mary Hartley Baxter: not one who came from white picket fences and Sunday drives. A giver. A lover. A control freak
Thank you for these psyche wrecking nerves
the bowling ball taking up permanent residence in the pit of my stomach
Thank you for teaching me how to treat women
and thank you for the stubbornness which allows this arrogance
thank you for keeping my feet attached to planet earth
while my head sails among the billowing clouds
for telling me how handsome I am
thank you for teaching me what it means to be in a family
thank you for letting me be a loser sometimes
thank you

Harry J Baxter: the heroic coward with a funny joke in bad taste and the right words for the wrong times
anti hero of a story nobody else is aware of
thank you for abusing all those pesky substances, they surely deserved it
thank you for the black lungs
thank you for speeding down dead end lane at five hundred miles an hour
thank you for remembering your helmet
thank you for saving all the words we never said to those we love
thank you for hiding from the unknown to avoid the scars of failure
thank you for getting those scars anyway
just so we knew what they felt like
thank you for the writer's block.... You *******
but in all seriousness,
thank you for building up your tolerance to beatings
because they will continue until morale improves
thank you

It's a strange place - the real world - monsters lay in wait in every shadow around every corner
and yeah, you aren't the human being 2.0
but you're prepared enough to board up the windows before the hurricane
and Mum, Dad,
I can talk all the **** in the world
but all of it would be empty
because for as ****** up as I am
as ****** up as you both certainly are
we've made it this far
and ******* it
I can't see our sun setting anytime soon
so my naturally adapted cynical sarcasm behind me
Thank you for loving me no matter what
even when the well was so dry love was hard to find
Thank you.
