Crucify

Hands clutching the locket

Shaking at the mention of you

Your still alive

But how dead you’ve become in my eyes



Everything I’ve ever done

Was never enough, I was never enough

I’m just like the unwanted scribble of a pen

You cant erase me, but you can cover me up



Drive the nail in my hands

Don’t stop there

Next the feet, pain unbearable

What a fucked up crucifixion

Do I still look kissable



I’m screaming inside

Reaching in and reaching out

Body wanting to tear the skin

You never nailed me to the cross

I died within

I crucified myself,



The day I realized I’ve never been me

I’m a fake portrait

Whose colours are fading, in black and white

So someone hand me another nail

It’s the day to crucify

Watch the blood drip stale

Its time for a nine inch beautify

Selfish sacrifice for a wasted life

Dear Celeste, untold billions of us through
the millenia have given away our power to unripe
fruit.. human souls not yet soft with compassion

.. your poem's imagery is powerful
