BLIND LEADING BLIND
So...
This is who I am?
This man who is so warped...
I want to look on the bright side;
but that beautiful dream hides from my eyes.
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing?
Because I feel completely lost.
When I was with Brian, & Rachel, & Amanda,
& Mike, & Jason, & Ron, & Clayton, & Michelle,
& Joe, & Rhonda & the others... I cried &
I laughed, & I felt complete...
The missing pieces of myself - that's what they were.
And when they died they didn't just go away,
but they changed me beyond recognition.
I've never met anyone who has outlived so many
friends in such a short period of time.
I've never met anyone who understood completely...
or didn't think me odd at hearing my story;
I hate that look in their eyes.
And now - here I am - wondering how the broken little
boy that I was has become this broken hearted man.
How did this happen &
what will I do about it?
I can't see.
A few hours ago I was jacking off & the image of me
wearing a blind fold came to me.
I was on a bed & Mark was inside me & touching my lips,
& fucking my mouth... I came hard.
When the fireworks ended & I was left sticky & sweaty...
When I wanted to tell Mark about it...
When I wanted to tell Christopher about all the darkness
that plagues me - I just felt so tired.
And the blindfold fell...
And the teardrops came with it...
And this aching is so pure that it's blinding.
