An Original Poem:
"Tell me how much you love Me,"
Your ego pleaded with my bleeding heart,
So i stuck my pruned thumb through the hole
You had created just hours ago,
long enough to stop the flow, to fake a smile,
to tell You how much i love You.
"Tell me how much you love Me,"
Your ego pleaded with my blackened knees
i broke them myself to spare You the trouble
while i kneeled to let You replace my bones
with knives so if i ever moved to get away
i would only tear my own flesh from my bones while You watched
"Tell me how much you love Me,"
Your ego pleaded with my torn up skin after You filled my veins
with the glass shattered by apathy and atrophy and god knows what else
i pushed myself down the flight of stairs and landed into a fit of apologies meant only for You
"Tell me how much you love Me,"
Your ego pleads with my body bag where I stashed my soul for safer keeping
Closing my fist and pulling my withered finger back through the hole
to test the time it takes to reach the glow on the horizon
and sing Your name in submission
Enlightenment
