Well what can I say
Delicate
And
Dangerous
Yeah that’s him
Sometimes he is here
Sometimes he is not
As if the wind changes
The sun gives us light
Yet retreats at night
Gives way to the mysterious moon
He gave me life
But could take it away
Is that really fair?
An unseen bond
Right from birth
His hand reached out
Grasped the rope around my neck
SNAP
I could breathe…
On the stairs
Silently
Looking through a frosted vision
As my world fell apart
Its over
Two words
The end of a family
Its over
14 days
28 days
56
112
Days grow long
Into weeks
Into months
Christmas comes
Christmas goes
The years go on
Yet I still fight
To see him
But my strength is failing
My heart grows cold
Does he even care?
I’m falling
Falling deep down
There he stands
Watching
Just watching
I’m still waiting
Waiting for him to catch me
Been falling for 10 years
He’s been watching for 10 years
But I’m still falling
Sound of guns
Cries in the distance
Dismay
And
Disaster
Never the same
Changed for all eternity
Discipline
He trusts me with his life
He trusts me with my own
Like a drug
Addictive
Hard to forget
Impossible to be without
Discipline
And
Darkness
Anger
Not
Displaced
Deep
And
Unreasonable
Gathering of
Hate
There
Energy
Resides
Finished…
