I fell
in love
with a girl
who was
broken
and in turn
I broke
myself

Fire

You set me
on fire
and watched
me burn

Demons

Once you
make love
to the
demons
within,
can you
ever
return?

Broken

I felt the barbed wire
on the head of Jesus
pull my heart through
my chest
where my soul
wore the nails
in his wrists
as a crucifix
to my body.

I sat
in the darkness
of Joseph,
abandoned
as Jacob,
and thrown
into the fire
of Abraham.

Just as the people
of Noah
were destroyed,
there is nothing
left of me.

And with the patience
of Job,
I endure.

Today, the angels cried.
