You suffer abuse
Long hours without rest
My tension and frustration
Those moments
when I cannot bear
to lose my place
and so force you conscious
for long hours and days
weeks
Until you fail me
just once
And then I’m terrified
for you keep me connected
for you keep me together
for you keep me from
feeling alone.
It’s like when I listen to the radio
If only to know that there are people out there
Alive
That the world isn’t zombie
Or dead.
You’re my security blanket
And I abuse you and tear you
Corrupt you and use you for unlawful means
You’ve taken it these years
Only a few complaints
When they get loud enough
I listen
But you’re usually shouting by then
I will never betray you
Mordred, my sweet.
There will never be a love like mine for you
Because, as always
You keep me
Secure
Alive

Entertained
But most of all, you helped me
Be free.
To do and dream
Believe
How many others can speak of wings?
I fly with you.
