You created a religion
that first time I heard you laugh.
You built a temple in me and
wrote your holy book, paragraphs
with every glance you threw in my direction.

I do not believe in a God,
I mean I did,
no
I didn't.
It doesn't matter.
For we were both lost bastardssinnersrefugee's looking for a place we could call home, I found one in you, you in me.
We prayed in a silence that only a
mute would dare hear,
we had that silence that monks meditated, for.
Your eyes, I could not stand to be the object of;
for they were so deep and I,
too short to stand in them.

Our churchbodymind has fallen now,
for you are too far to travel
and
for you believe in the sun, moon and the tree's.

And I, imperfections and insanity
(I wonder where you are now)

You* don't know
you don't know how bad I've got it.
yes, we whisper somalia & kenya
but.
(come closer)
please, sir, arrest my mind
take it away from me for I would rather
be a lame than let them continue to fuel the warfare
that
is
destroying
the
peace up there
I can consume an alcoholics most treasured secrets.
I can inject the dealers most expensive hits.
even on cloud 9, I am lost in the agony of it all.

Please my love, come back to me
For only you have the weaponry to conquer all.

Help
for I am about to
*forfeit
There's only one person that ever understood my urge to jump

We spoke in tongues that day,
Your fingers trailed my body like
a harlot skimming through the bible finding her daily grace.

The Sun, her majesty, jealous of the
nervous heat that fought for a moment of breath between your satin body and my scarred chest.

Did you know that I almost cried?
Because your touch was everything I feared the most.
Your touch was confidence, maybe love.
It hurt.

We don't speak the same language anymore,
For your fingers,
are too holy for mine.
About a friend, with whom I shared the whole of me. But didn't care.

Why do you walk through life with a man who's lap has not moulded to the stress of your swollen feet?
With a man who's shoulder does not hold the curvature of your head
With a man who does not smell like goodness
and who's skin is not saturated with your tears.  
Why do you walk through life with a man who's nights are not spent worrying
about how cold the empty space on your bed is
in his absence?

Mama, tell me why you walk through life with him?
You're a bad father.
