A thing I heard Erik Menendez say is something that will live in my mind rent free. He said when asked "what is in front of you?"
He replied,"My past."
He replied,"My past."
And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to
But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay
And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love, it isn't free, it has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed, so I was worthless
But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
At six years old and you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree
I will never leave her like you left me
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you, I'm gonna put her first and you know
He'll never walk away
He'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things, he'll love her
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and the father should be great
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

"So let me get this straight. Down to the marrow of the bones to the monstrous unsavory truth we breathe air in a world where the people are more obsessed with gorgeous bodies that one day rot away than gorgeous souls that weep handsomely like violins into infinity. My God,little precious creatures we,you and I and he and she have so many things wrong."

weep for yourself, you’ll never be what is in your heart. weep for the poets as the words escape through their fingers. weep as the innocence of children slowly starts to ebb away. weep for the people you once knew, so close and so loved. they won’t ever be here, be with you again.
Sitting here in the balcony of the hospital building looking at my dad's eyes as they wander onto the city filled with life I can clearly see the regret gutting him of the life he could have lived. I feared for him of the pain he must be going through and feared a bit for myself cause I too will have to live this again.

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.

And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.

"I am nothing special of this I am sure. I am a common man with common sense and i have led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten but I have LOVED another with all my heart and soul and to me this has always been ENOUGH."
The pain of having to forgive you again and again lies in you having to break my heart again and again and me not knowing what to do with the pieces.

I saw with my own eyes the frustration and tiredness in my father's face. He went from being a man who didn't show the slightest bit of pain to not make his loved ones suffer from the misery in his eyes to not hiding anything anymore...slowly he drifted to not hiding the ache for he have had enough pain buried inside him......and mostly because there is a breaking point for every human being and that is completely fine.
