in a bed circled by love

Where goes it the love for my mother and brothers
Where goes it the intelligence of my brothers
And the feelings of safety and fear of monsters
Where do my memories of childhood dreams go
And the thoughts I had held dear so long, where do they go
Are they lost in my adolescent mind
Where will my adolescent mind go when it is lost
Lost to the grown up mind I despise already
Where goes the feeling of family
I am so long awaiting that feeling to return
I hope I can make it on my own some day much better
And when my hair is cut and my eyes are closed
Let me see farther and more clearly to the end
The child is never dead, I am still the child inside
Just smarter and wiser than when I remember
And I the child still wish and dream for things
For a family again and a love that dreams are made for
And to find out where it all goes to someday
Someday I will and when I do let me sit and say them
The words I searched for long
On a bed that’s cold and dry and circled by love
I will sleep there forever

I am the two-toed wanderer

Stunning piece. Tying childhood and death together (at least that's what I read into it; call me morbid) was so poignant. The whole poem really touched my heart somehow.

Where black, bleeding roses await the Thirteen,
I see not the stars, but the darkness between

Beautiful but sad.
Enjoyed the read.
