To Watch
To watch a man struggle
between lives of pain and lives of joy
To watch a man fall and climb
to love, lust, and loathe
To watch this man is part of my life
one he is struggling to be a part of
To watch as his worlds collide
to stop this collision...impossible
To watch as he watches his love and lust
shift and disappear
he sinks back into his world
To watch as he descends,
an astronaut falling from the heavens
to see him burn up
loose contact and plummet into the sea
To watch the reconstruction of his will
to escape his world
To watch this man is all I can do
no words or motions can suffice
To watch is for me to learn
and for him to try
To watch him find a new way to get by
to love, to lust, to loathe
To watch this man is what it means to be a son
it is what it is to be a child
To Watch listen, see and do
