Acronym


I am rotten to the core. I’ve killed my father and forgave him
Couldn’t I have just been older than fourteen, with the devil on my shoulder
And without concern for the women I gifted false promises to
Nothing wrapped and without love they and I watched the bunches leave
Nothing taken, nor shall I shed tears for your hollow soul
Oh, but it has all  become a bore now, your naked body and your speech
Though thinking, drinking, I still some how miss you
Standing, falling, sleeping, I still some how pray to you
Thankfully I accept this awkward walk and speech I received
Anything less wouldn’t be me and I come from a long line of fucked up Lees
Now, it does not mean I am ashamed, for I have love and live with untamed  
Dare the man or God to allow a flame to melt my heart for it is nothing but stone
On my own, I am just a half, as if someone ate me and I was too tart
Now, for if I grow with you, the sun, and mother earth
May I be ripe and sweet
Years of love making and story telling, though…
Our message of love has turned black and passion is routine 
Weddings and oaths is where love dies
Not even a God or authors can rewrite the history of us
Tattered and sore, you gazed your beat eyes towards something more
Weak and sick, I kissed you and felt a prick of endless pain
On my own I crawl, forgetting what my mother taught
Fearing that I must grow accustom to this ack 
Empty rooms, and teenage dogs 
Earning fame and loosing reasoning
Today I remember friends who took my hands and made me stand
