Parent message is 81154
Some of us want to hear the truth even
if a ‘no’ is the beginning and the end
some of us are paralyzed as well, nightly
drinking up the blue glow from the darkness
bringing bits of love and company to empty
holed souls

and some of us have lived the frightful
nightmare of your youth the same as you
I can hear your cries of lonliness and pain
though you be heaven’s smile itself

and I admit to using you to quiet all
the damned noisy burdens in my heart
from whom I get no peace
unless I use you

and nothing of it’s wrong
though none of it is right

tomorrow’s child, you know your course
keep to it; write you’re right and
take your time, for time is what it
takes for bitterness to fade and love
like yours to take its place

and in the meanwhile, you are my
megabyte per second connection
to the world attached to me by
DESKTOP! where there’s more room
for me to love you
