We ignored Truths for temporary happiness-- said we loved when we really loved ourselves. We could not break the walls separating this room within our rooms, our hands. We lived without a fault, nails to our hands. Our hands tattooed skins and glazed with rain. Ain't no pain they say, this way-- out of the door and into the pit all the while playing fire, at the end of our wits. Be sane once, and lose it all later, you hold my hand and say a prayer. *Lord, where do we go when we lose ourselves?* *Where are you? He called the angels' sirens defeaning. I am not here, I said. I am not here. Hear, He said. Here.
