HALF A MAN HALF A BOY
HALF A MAN HALF A BOY
Dearest, it is late, Sunday evening
And I am left, skirting something rather large
Swallowed down the wrong pipe �
A blow behind the head � the truth
It brings me down, buries my face so
That I cannot see you as you are, kills
The heart in me. And my eyes � water
Like reality that can slip through the fingers
Unless you see your reflection in it;
The death of you, the father face of you
Behind the mask, behind the man
I fell in love with. Everything but the lies
Hit me like a bucket of ice water
Because I believe what you tell me. Always
Yours,
Gone Forever
