Leave Me

Leave Me

Destiny
That fickle Muse
It’s all circumstance
You win some you lose
Exquisite love, exquisite bruise
Grow to love the pain you choose .

I tried, I cried, I swallowed, I choked,
I stayed, I fought, I forgave, I provoked,
I prayed, delayed, made the bed
Chanced those words you never said

Wrote crimson prose like roses
Tossed between those battle lines we crossed
As Holy Bed turned Holy War
And you went marching, marching out the door

Now hang me on your crucifix
Rail me with your rage’s bliss
Rant me with your stinging poems
Savage me with singing stones

Save me with an open glance
Sway me one last desperate dance

Split me    lift me    lie me    take me

Fly me    suck me    cry me    break me

Shake me    feed me    sigh me    bleed me


Hate me     Need me     Love me




                Leave me
