You Never Left Me
You, never, left me
Parents
Separated
Children
Sent, away
Others
Stray
Out, of, sight
To, fight
A, living
Misery
Seemingly
Very, very
Wrong
Everything, gone!
Life
Isn’t
Right
Past
Insight
A, loner
Bi Polar
Without
Medication
To, boarder
Needs
Sedation
Any
Mind
Filling
Stimulation
Annulling
His
Sensations
Could
Cause
Dramatic
Fanatic
Inflation
Bi Polar stumbles, on
The, children’s, prison
Sensing
Grieving
He, plans, on
Just
Leaving
Until
Still…
He, remembers
A, daughter
Once
Close
Loving
Her, most
She, could, be, in, there!
No, moments
For, despair
Thinking
Stay here!
The, guards
Had, no, time
To, even, move
Due, to
BP’s, smooth
Psychotic
Grooves
Twenty or, more
Everyone
Sore
Then, a, familiar
Voice
His, preference
Of, choice
Follows
Her, energy
Vibe
Straight, to
The, completely
Terrified
He, always, knows
Where, to, go
A, cold, dungeon
Damp, and, dark
Below
Her, voice
Speaks
Piercing
Miseries
Noise
Annoyed
Kicking
Through
Doors
Its kids
Galore!
So!
Everyone goes!
Through
The, front
Hanging
Smashed
Doors
Not, one, kid
Left, back
A, successful
Manic
Attack
On, horse, and, saddle
This, group, traveled
Through, fields
And, thickened
Forest
Tundra lies
Just, before
Dust
Under the, African, stars
Light
Fills, bright, tonight
Keeps, them
In
Tight
Then, a, spot
Thought
Right
For
The, night
These, kids, could be, the life, of, him
He, doesn’t, want, a, goddamn, thing
Kiss
Hug
Your, horses
Thank, you
Helps, them, feel
A, little, less
Cranky
Tears
Back
Remorse
Using
All
His, energy’s, force
Through, jungles, in, the pouring, rain
Not, to, mention
The, constant, strain
Requiring, no, attention
These, kids, never, complain
The, group, finds, a, stray
On, their, pathway
He, strolled, through
Like a, snoop
Too
Can, we keep, him!?
He, lost, his, kin
So
We, let him, in
BP’s, eyes
Circle, like, flies
Thinking
Something
Is, shorthand
Understand!
A, lion, cub
Brought, these, kids
Lots
Of
Love
Up, the trail, a, ways
Trouble, turns, in, the, haze
Pounds and, more
Put, on, this, pack
An, Awful
Roar!
The, size, of a, Lincoln, town, car!
Biggest, animal
He, ever, saw
A, beast, of, pride
We, should, really
Try, to, hide
He, could
Definitely
Kill
With
Chills
Deciding, pride
Quiet, in, grace
In BP’s, daughter’s, pretty, face!
He, cried
She, never, moved, a, muscle
With, plenty, of, reasons
To, scuffle
Then
Lionesses
Joined, in
Gaze
With, Lincoln
His, daughter
Held, strong
He, seemed, to listen
Like, she, belonged
With, him
(A, whisper)
He is, not, a, pet!
Cub, is, our, friend
You, need, not, fret
We, mean
No, harm
Please
Call, off
The, alarm
Creating, smiles
On, each, face
Lasting, awhile
For, an, awkward
Space
To, find, the, mothers!
Cried, another
Group, to, group
They’ll, show
Us
A, better
Route
Lincoln
Lead, the, pack
He, knows
The, best, ways
To, track
Then, suddenly
A, chemical
Imbalance
Hits BP
Rapidly
As, if, in
A, trance
She, must, be, near
It’s been
Thirteen, years
Since
Sharing
Words
Kind, sincere
Now BP
Is, talking, to, the, birds
He, has, forgotten
Words
Sounds
More
And
More
Disturbed
What, are, you, doing, here!?
Your, story, isn’t, quite, clear!
Are, those, your, horses?
Have, you…?
Any, other, resources
BP looks, back
Was, there an, attack?
I’m, not, well…
Somebody…
Please…
Tell…
BP, never, even, came, close
To, the, children’s, post
An, unconscious
Decision
To
Steal
Horses
And
Head for
The coast
And live
A ghost
Now
Sits, in, a
Roast
With
Mother
The, most
Up, real
Firm…
And, close
No, lions
No, kids
No, manic
Adventure
Just
Another, painted
Pathetic
Depressing
Picture
Delusion
Stir
Confusion
In, my
Mind
I, know
She’s
Fine
I, miss
Her…
All, the, time
