Forsaken
Take my wrath and place it in a jar
Coils of guts slide through your hands
You did this with what you say
I kneel blind and torn out.
There is nothing left of me you keep it in that jar
Putrid, pickled, pulsing. It drains me so
I cannot move. I scream no sound
Blood drips from hollow lips.
A jar of condition and you hold it like a trophy
You made something ugly and you smile with pride
I don’t know who I am
This black — lighted love consumes me.
Ropes of visera slip through my fingers
You keep a guard on it
I rot from the outside in
My arms slick from this fetid tar.
Eternity of darkness, forsaken by your eyes
I wait for you to turn away
To take back what is mine.
