Long Train Coming
By Phalanx
Come to me softly as a back handed angel.
Look at me straight and touch me in hate.
I feel like god when you talk back.
Don't take you from me.
You don't know me the way I died, I puked, I choked.
Not the example, in the right minds eye.
Just a man, the worst.
No excuses, just the mangled fucked up guy
That didn't die when they told him to and
I'm your's if you'll have me.

Good one Phalanx and the stony silence can be the worst when even a ration of doo-doo is better than being hungry! Well-said - Dan
