I never heard him
singing in my sleep
He never
entered my dreams
Not a father
not an angel
not a ghoul
Just a man
with nothing to celebrate
outside of his imagination
Damaged soul
from the beatings
over and over
by humanity's inhumanity
leading to a distorted face
No mask to hide his injuries
so deep
they leave no outward scars
but seen as clearly as a full moon at midnight
He is the abyss that stares back
the void that screams
and the darkness
that desperately wants a friend
