Prayer-Rant

Prayer-rant

Love hurts, love burns,
Love sucks, love turns.
Men into mongrels,
Women into mothers.

Rebirth is not worth,
The loss of my soul
A rift through me whole
While I try to fill it.

The old ways so dusty
So lost and so rusty.
Creaking hinges I know too well
I should have replaced…

Erased or faced disgraced,
But no; they were gone
And now the void sucks
And our rupture tears

Me in two at the core
Between me, you and us.
Fuck this dissention,
It’s you that I trust.

Or should
Or would
Or could.
But now, I look up.

There is light there,
There is love there.
Perfection for my imperfection
And grace for my flaws.

So thank you Jesus,
Hallelujah for grace
Amen for the love Lord
And for the provision you give.

So I receive,
I receive…
I, receive.
