There's west.
There's east.

Father pointed out the ways around the world
So I'd know just where to go when I was lost.

There's north.
There's south.

Father pointed out the stars above my head
So I'd know just how to find my way again.

It's been a while since we last met Daddy.
Why is it you scream and yell upstairs Daddy?
Why'd you break that thing of Mommy's Daddy?
Why do I call both of you my enemies now?


One day, just a few days ago,
my father sat me down.
We had a big talk,
You know, about
The facts of life
And so on...


Kevin's Dad
Kevin was a fool
His daddy died
Over ten years ago.
But still, like
So many other
Things in this
Life...  He
Held him and
Just kept
Shaking.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus

Jeez...this is one mighty powerful piece there Frac. So much heartache is seeping through the lines...and reading between them makes it even more lively.
By writing these pieces I hope you're exorcising these demons inside of you. Take care of yourself buddy.
