I hold onto you as long as possible
Hoping to lengthen the time out
Knowing that at any time it can be taken
Taken away by the long arm of force
The laws are like venomous snakes
Whose talking heads harass me all day
Spitting words they know will hurt me
Watching me dully with the dumb eyes of a hunter
That doesn't think I am worth hunting
Lucky Me.  I listen thoughtfully
To the sounds above the padded casings
Of the imaginary prison where we are detained
At length I started talking with my only friend
Although we had parted ways he said,
"We couldn't be apart even if we fought with weapons"
It was the most intelligent thing he'd said all day
He also said I deserved it.  I hated him for it bitterly
Talk continued some long rambling hours
Me and Ptolemy have been together so long
We could really do anything and not be ashamed
We also cannot be apart.  I was always a nervous person
Missing you was for so long a cross that I pray
Sometimes I wish the love I bear for you would lessen
I keep looking for an escape latch some tool to use
Today I found something useful, sharing objects and artifacts
Using telepathic images Me and Ptolemy compared notes
We find it useful to share our feelings it's all there is
And thank God we don't fight because if we fought
Then our heaven would become a hell.  We like each other
God gives me insight into things because I pray to Him
And in the insight I partake with my friend
And he with me.  It is a lonely life
I enjoy solitude
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
