A Hanging

by @g-victoria-rose

My dear lover, why did they put me here? Reckless in authority      Pushing, pulling, straining, taming Trying to tame me      Tame you, tame us, tame them! Would someone please try to tame them?      Save them, save me, save us, love They did it because of a love      What's so wrong about love? Whipping, striking, beating, bleeding      One hit, two hits, three hits, four      Five knocks me to the floor Sit up! Stand up! See your bloody mother cry!      I'm sorry brother for lusting lies Lies told and lies seen      Lies for things which you define me Kick the chair from beneath my feet      A noose hangs loose from this old tree As my neck strains against these strings      Last thoughts wonder to Adam & Eve Who ate the fruit which planted these seeds      The poisoned fruits are you and me
