Hello, my apologies everyone. Been quite a dry spell for my imaginative….crap. See, I still can’t put words together very well. Here’s a quick poem, and as soon as I get home, I’ll start work on LoserW/Jello and all that jazz. Enjoy.

Here’s to You, Dad.

You and I, so Happily I wept

So willingly I slept there warm in my bed

I never had to question

What this was made of

You cannot possibly understand

You will never feel the pain

You put me through, what did you do?

-----

Here’s to You Dad, you will never

See me cry? I will never

Love you as much as I did before

My eyes opened wide and I saw

You

You there, lying bleeding and broken

A weak old man, a child

That weeps and begs to be

Left alone to die!

Here’s to You Dad

-----

Here’s to my heart

Ripped out and laid bleeding

On the alter of your guilty conscious

Wash your bloody hands

Over and over and over and over

You will wash the shame from your

Weighty mind, the guilt that gave you

Your mighty delusions of grandeur.

-----

Here’s to You Dad, you will never

See me cry? I will never

Love you as much as I did before

My eyes opened wide and I saw

You

You there, lying bleeding and broken

A weak old man, a child

That weeps and begs to be

Left alone to die!

Here’s to You Dad

-----

I’m sorry, that’s all you could say

I’m sorry, Dad but that’s not good enough Anymore

I’m no child, I’m no saint

Neither are you, so drop down from that pedestal

Down to the gutters with all of us

Us, the ones you threw before you

So you wouldn’t have to step in the dirty puddles

That you yourself brought me

-----

Here’s to You Dad, you will never

See me cry? I will never

Love you as much as I did before

My eyes opened wide and I saw

You

You there, lying bleeding and broken

A weak old man, a child

That weeps and begs to be

Left alone to die!

Here’s to You Dad

Here’s to You Dad
