Traditionally Dead.
By Iwas
Your fathers demons done chased you down.
I wear yours now father
as my crown.
A family tradition to morbid to bear.
To all
who hear only horrors they share.
Our family has fallen again
and again.
To those who love we should have never been.
How
now am I to beat them alone.
I hear their coming. I hear their moan.
My angel dropped me from her grace.
Quickly to death now I
do race.
I hope only to break this cycle of loss.
I hope
my strength can hold your cross.
R.I.P. "wicked dickie"

Incredibly touching tribute, not glossed over. Sins of the father being passed on and traditions being kept...almost eerie in the suggestive hints of those not being a good thing, but perhaps not sinister either. Much enjoyed the pondering this inflicted on my mind this morning, thanks - XXOO
