the way you oppressed and
suppressed and depressed me
for all those years.
the father I never knew locked in his
other relm.
Somewhere high in the tower
where cigarettes and zig-zags
cover the floor.
Love consumed me then.
Attention Affection Emotion Dialogue and Diction Denied
Blocking my Ballad of Epic Epiphany.
And I am left with some
sense of sentimentality; emotional overindulgence
Ignored was an understatement.
I was screaming
and dying
Stabbing myself with repetative satire.
My love is a red, red rose
Bleeding to find release.
