For Donna and For Scott (sensitive subject matter) by +Steven Curtis Lance Tuesday, June 14, 2005 Rated "R" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan to speak the unspeakable / to bear witness for the dead

For Donna and For Scott to speak the unspeakable to bear witness for the dead If I kill myself am I a murderer? Is it as bad as killing another? What of interrupted ones who never were? I have lost a half-sister and half-brother She to suicide and he to criminal neglect Is it any wonder then that I do not respect The father we three share? I am the last and least In the belly of the beast There I have spent my life where Although unbearable However terrible it is for me For Donna and for Scott It is no more for they are not To be for them was not to be I honor you my siblings though unknown The last and least and lost is left alone +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

poignant read




Reviewed by Alexandre Arnau	6/14/2005

of all the things i have read from you, this was the most painful thing i've had the pleasure of reading. i have to admit that i've had some difficulty with some of your work, not because it wasn't good, but because i have some trouble grasping material of a higher nature. which most of your work happens to be. i work from a coarser source, so sometimes you're a bit beyond me. the only thing i can find wrong with this piece was its last line. though the world (we both seem to share) may seem grotesque, cold, and barren of beauty, you should know that if anywhere, at least here, you will never be alone. ever. your friend in the search for beauty, alex
