Broken
I hadn't broken into tears yet
I didn't think I ever would
I did break a few other things that night
That beer that finished the case
That lounge door that hid that ugly wallpaper
That chair that refused to move
That foot that was swollen
That sweat that November night
That sprint that told that cop that I was in trouble
That belt buckle that stabbed me as he tackled me
That cop's hard shell that made him so fierce
The night you died I failed to cry
I still haven't
That nearly broke me
Then a friend asked why I hadn't
I told him
That you broke free

Far be it from me to look down upon a scatophile.
P.S. Frasor Allonby, your former cellmate says next time you say he forced you to eat your own shit, He'll make you eat his as well.
