Requiem for a Bodyguard

What if Hank's obsession with Brock was something more? In this poem we explore what happens when one is faced with loss of love and the costs of it.

Requiem for A Bodyguard

Goodbye my protector

My blond Norse God

Far you have flown

The path you chose

Not as wise as you

I remember embracing you

The nights of passion

Still leave me reeling

Even as these words

Are put to paper

And from paper

To record

A secret pain

I wonder

If a one of these capsules

Found under your bed

Will put me to sleep

Perchance to dream of you

For all eternity

For without you there is no life

Here on earth I lay here

A shell

A lifeless cocoon

Where once the flames of love

Once burned

Like a never ending fire

Now the fire is quenched

Nothing more to do

Or say

I place the bitter almond scented pill

On my tongue

I drink

I swallow

I die.

O here will I set up my everlasting rest, and shake the yoke of inauspicious stars from this world-wearied flesh. Eyes look your last! Arms take your last embrace! O you the doors of breath with a righteous kiss a dateless bargain to Engrossing Death! Here's to my love! Thus with a kiss I die. (Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet Act v scene III)
