Ruthless Catholicism

It had been going on for hours and I was so tired
I was defenceless against your demands
Turns out it takes 6 hours of persistent screaming before I forget who I am
And what I think is best for me
My sense of self has always been fragile
The dam broke and you flooded in
Consuming the firing synapses in my brain with your violent wishes
You hated that I had been capable of love before you
I still think of that hatred now more than I think of you
I wanted to cry but I was beyond feeling anything
And tears wouldn't come
But then you insisted on sex
After all the screaming suddenly I was wanted
I said no but you didn't care
Arousal is unnecessary
Manual stimulation is all it takes
You reached down and elicited a response
For so long now remembering it makes me sick
You only stopped because I was finally able to cry
Hysterics like a child
You punished me for your own shortcomings
In a vulgar and deceitful way
You reached in and rearranged my will
You said you wanted to see if I cared enough
I hate that I did
I hate that I forgave you
It is easy to be a vessel for others and never for yourself
But now the world will know
[REDACTED]
What's mine is yours
What's mine is yours
What's mine is yours
The more you suffer the more they love you back
Isn't that what we learned
From the nuns in their habits
And all our alcoholic mothers
Absent fathers
Puerile teachers
Distant siblings
[REDACTED]

Returning Soldier

Here on the boundaries of Eden
Is where I find you
A rose in my garden
I've covered the lamps
Inked out the stars
Applied pressure to the bite
Here on the balconies of Egypt
Is where I find you
A vine in the dark
A blight on the trees
Here on the streets of Berlin
Is where I find you
A lamp screaming in a window
A vase in am empty room
Something inside is rotting
It comes from afar
The place where you don't see
Feel your way along in the dark
Find me in your garden
Returning soldier
Returning soldier
Show me your true face
Show me something truly unforgettable

Coalition Of Need

A single rose misplanted in your chest
Reaching a hand
Remember that the journey is forever inwards
This body is a trap
And I can't undo my birth
I can't fix the crown on your head
Your fingers trace my halo
Undo me
Smother me
Press your lips to the water surface
The stream bends to fit the arch of your face
I wonder
Who are you when you're not rehearsing yourself
Who are you when the blinds are closed
Oh to be wreathed in gasoline
Blinded by corrosives
Remember that the journey is forever inwards
Remember that the path is dark
Remember that none of us make it all the way
Does it rain in hell
Because it snows in your bedroom
Skin caught in the sewing machine
What a terrible arch we make
What a terrible place this
You and I have a coalition of need
Before the Helix Guardsman
Remember that the journey is forever inwards
Remember the the path is dark
Remember that none of us make it all the way
