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.
