Sanity

      If I didn't live in fear
       I'd give you my heart
        In your time of need
         But that'll only add weight
          To your chest

Though If I was afraid to die     

I'd bathe in bleach and scrub     

The pigment off my skin     

Remove The Mark of Cain     

Instead let me overdose     

Take what I won't give

 So I can't miss 

    What I can't have

       Overdose

     On my nude hush

   My bare intentions

 My naked hue

Obedience.

I wish I knew where I stood with you but instead you keep

breaking me down and breaking me down and breaking me down

and here I am... clueless... too scared to listen to my own gut

rebuilding myself and picking up the pieces of my nervous system

as I stutter my way through another "everything is gonna be alright"

obsequious ride or die bitch for my god (my man) or

rather be alone with just a rosary that doesn't actually belong to me 

bringing me back full circle clutching what so badly
wants to slip through my fingers

Amen...
