Dear James

by lonelynow   Nov 12, 2013


I pray to a god I don't believe in
to save myself from a sin
that was committed against me.
I am dishonoured.

Swallow this retribution deep
And taste its bitterness
Sometimes it's fair to get the blame
For a crime committed against you
Sometime you have to lose everything
To rid yourself of weakness

I am the bitter taste in your mouth
The chip in the corner of your mirror
I am your child's child
And your cancer. Feel me
As I drip down the back of your throat
A drug that you have to give up
I am addictive, repellent
I am punishment consumed
And vomited into the goddess we worship

Closer to death than life
I will take your strength and use it
To support my own failure
The clock is ticking and the universe
In our brain is expanding

I gave birth to sorrow and buried it underground
You dig up my sorrow
Like it's a treasure you have found
We are animals with too much complexity
Hide me in your heart
I will push the blood through your veins
