In Answer - poetry by AndyN

HERO WORSHIP (I)
Do you remember how you used to tease me?
Throw pens and pencils at my head,
and throw my bag down the stairs.
You used to mock my music tastes,
Laugh at the way I did my tie
And my always too shiny shoes.
But I used to view you with pity
at your divorced, arguing parents
And your drug addict of a brother.
I used to view you with pity
Looking at your sad, pale eyes
and trembling shoulders.
When you started to cry
I wanted to cry beside you
tell you it will get better
And watch your fear slip away
Down the drain like dirty dishwater
But you turned away
And concerted on throwing
More pens and pencils.
