In Mother's Eyes I'D Never Fall
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.
