Capillaries

dead end lanes

like half remembered

half written dreams

things not always

as they seem

Body broken

body bled

Words unspoken

legs that spread

Warm or cold

the worms eat dead

Remember

not what I have said

Remember this-

I also bled

Forgiving me

inside you glide

Holy father

you slip inside

Making it easy

like closing my eyes

I pulled the trigger

and I told you the lies

But you- it's you

who wanted me to

Pull this trigger

send this bullet to you

for something bigger

but I took one too

And those nails

imbed your skin

I wonder what

sick play I'm in

A sacrifice, a sacred sin

nailed to my cross

you've always been

You were my Jesus Christ

Does that make me

Judas then?

I kissed you goodnight

in Gethsemane

I kissed you goodnight

betrayed you

betraying me

and your requiem

without a song

the night was dreary

the fight was long

I cried clearly

Lord- you're wrong

Watching as

the sun went down

you weren't the only one

who drowned

You kissed my lips

I closed your eyes

You're not the only one

who dies
