The One You Never Forget

 I'm on a roll recently with discovering these marvelous LGBT short films and one glance at YouTube will tell you that I've only scratched the surface there are loads of great short movies that never get widely distributed which is a shame but I'm glad I can share some of them here. This one is very touching. Enjoy!

The Last Time I Saw Richard

 I discovered this short recently and although it's not implicitly LGBT themed (though there is a slight tinge of homoeroticism to the main characters' relationship) I found it pretty heartbreaking and it stayed with me for several days. I love horror as well (though this blog usually focuses on the queer aspect of my personality) so the darker elements creeped me out. Enjoy!

Reel

I felt like I had already posted this but I don't see it in the post listings so even though I first came across this sometime ago it came into my YT feed again this week and I decided to share it. It's an extremely sweet LGBT short.

 

Legacy

 Tick - Tick -Tick - Tick

Midnight movie and I sit alone

Watching to forget that there's no one at home.

I'm all right on most days, but this one's been hell.

Margaritas and misery are all I have to tell.

This week brought nothing but one more ghosted text

and one more person to use me then on to the next.

It's the legacy of a modern generation,

costly and without warranty.

Cold nights spent wishing

that there was someone lying next to me.

Is it the fear that keeps us at bay

and unwilling to share our hearts?

Or something that cuts much deeper

and forever keeps us apart?

Social affairs are certain death, with everyone asking about a date.

Now going out to parties is something that I've learned to hate.

Self service is something of an art now that it's become the norm.

But it takes more than your own body to keep the nights safe and warm.

Every day the rut gets bigger and the battle with myself continues to be fought.

I fear I'm falling into an abyss and that the end will come leaving it all for naut.

This is the legacy of a modern generation

lonely and bereft of scope.

Petty relationships and painful abuse

leaving me unable to cope.

Please don't let me end up this way

with a heart of stone gasping for air.

I've got a wounded psyche and a broken heart

that I'd still ne willing to share.
