Burn me in Gethsemane
A witch at the stake
Dying on the cross.
Please carry me home
My burdens and sacrifice
My skin
My bones
My ashes
My groans
Can you come and save me,
What say ye?
—
Can we please just be fairies
Faking like we’re scary,
We wear our pseudo-nightmares
To dream away the day.
But here we are skin walkers,
All just not-good talkers
Please keep from us the stalkers
Who lullaby the night.
—
Or burn me in Gethsemane,
Witch begging for her fairy wings,
Let me be the monster in the dark
Who scares off all the monsters not as large,
So I’ve nothing worse to fear
Because no fantasy I cling to dear
Will shield me half as well.
—
Go burn me in Gethsemane,
A skin without a puppet string
Silent in the crowded room, they scream.
I have demons worse to fear
Just rock away this night, I’m here
In desecrating flames.
Wow this was so raw and emotionally charged. Beautifully portrayed.
