Didn’t mean to fall,

For my eyes to close,

Weighted with feathers.

To close, open to Heaven?

Maybe, familiarity?

****

Meant nightmares to melt,

Wickedness to crumble.

Familiar smiles,

To return, to right the world,

To right every hurt bothered.

*****

Didn’t mean to sleep at —

Supper, but some nights it’s the —

Only place I’ve rest.

Go into the keap, pass out,

Or, finish dinner eyes shut.

*****

What do you think?

What do you mean, when you,

Tear apart the world?

Tear apart my self without —

Any right? Let me sleep well.

*****

What don’t you get?

Why must you open,

Your mouth; why’d you speak?

Only to complain, murmur,

Of all these shadows you caused.

*****

Your own making, sins;

You don’t learn, tremble, move on.

You know; yet, you still —

Refuse to see the truth banging,

At your brain, you’re stone-headed.

****

What’s to understand?

You’ve lost, now slither on past;

Combust you serpent,

I’m mine, I’m God’s three-in-one;

Leave me to sleep serene.

*****

No more threats or barks,

No more excuses, you’ve lost;

Evil be not proud,

You’re not my Lord sheltering,

In Him, I’ve a quiet strength.
