Poem
Dear father, I thank you more than once a day dreams of you raising the hand' how it all crept in my mind i just couldn't understand terrorizing me was how you'd unwind crayons scribble along the only sheet left 0h...dear father, every pillow drop of night i lay you'll hear tears from the sinks in sanctuaries where I'd pray therein childhood parks lives my tale now falls wash down my hale soul after winds had blown my perfection in mothers eyes I'd never fall our life made no constant connection beyond all that was right i barely came close... to reach peace, i let you win each night projecting those eyes,hands, and that nose... setting a barrier between all that you froze in mothers eyes I'd never fail fists breaking memories of glass distracted skimming my mail wasn't long before i panicked in class a distant line from home before your bond, bailed my life away... no soul of man can break a door when such a bruised heart divides why'd you even start? to the inner core that collides you slit my heart apart from the corners, to the ground running toward my bed to unwind correlating bedtime with banging sound to pair for long with a friend had a difficult song to rhyme before any positive end. Forever living a mystery of the history behind disaster beyond a days loving. Goodbye release, goodbye dark angels you're alone. save the light before you could preach no trace if ever brought upon the throne to enter, you best not show that face. dont follow me down the aisle... father you don't have a place for you a preacher would annile, our kids replaced what's said and done, but never shall we escape to become the victims of domestic chase let out the shame...to confess, flipping thru childhood reruns, made life... set, in that worn abandoned nest.
