It wasn't my fault, the kid started it all
My eyes took in his slick dark body in its purest naked form
Eyes closed, he just lie there,
a sweet offering to the gods,
arms wide open, drawing me in, making me
breathe in quick gasps
It was pure torture just to stand there and
gape, I need to feel, I need to be FULFILLED
Long have my innocence flown, ravaged,
I no longer cared, no longer see the
simplicity of beauty, nor the purity of love
I NEED to feel ALIVE again, I had to do
something...but I walked away, away from the
niche where the kid still lies, eyes now
wide open, and his arms jiggling the can
he's holding, begging for alms,
And I no longer feel, am no longer alive,
no longer human.
