Would we have made a life, if I had not denied you?
Denied us because of my fear?
I’m not queer.
Oh, Coop the power of your hands to gather up pain
and wrench it away from me.
Couldn’t see
Beyond the darkness of everyone’s hate. Now I do
and it’s too late to save us.
Ever thus
alone without your touch, your smile, your heart to guide me
except in my dreams, which haunt.
I still want
to hold you, to hear your laugh, to drink with you the joy
we found in moments, so few.
I miss you.
Everyone knows now, Coop, no more need to hide behind
the mask worn these lonely years.
And the tears.
