They
Already took everything
from me.
I learned skills and magnitudes, I never knew I had in me.
I broke to reframe.
I cracked my heart open,
Over and over again
Each time it came-
Love to destroy me.
They say,
"When the Devil can't reach you, he sends a man in his place".
And I ate of fruits and delectable dishes,
Turned to rot in my mouth
and core.
Turned to grey in my
Soul and face.
I "ate the sin",
As my better half states.
I gave
and I learned to take.
Take back every boundary
They put a chainsaw up against.
Take back every compassion
In the face of their excuse.
I burned down the world
That together we shared.
I walked the fuck away
When I ate how little they cared.
How lost they'd gotten.
Them all.
I became something gruesome.
Fiercely unapologetic in all my burning rage.
After all the wrath of a woman,
Has always petrified
And tailed between legs.
In me,
Something awoken
Ancient and Destroying. Shiva
and Mighty.
Pele....
And every woman scorned.
It echoed through my char
And sounded through my core-
A Primordial Siren Waling,
Screeching of atrocities bared by her skin
and writhe
So she could break
What needed to be consumed.
I ate the sin alright.
Become Fire
and feathery ash.
Become transformed from rage into glory,
And from death, an intrinsically terrifying form.
For SHE
Was no more.
Not her.
Not that one you knew.
She is gone.
Make no mistake....
She is underground, dead, and buried.
Resurrected and crucified.
Glory now,
In her name.
I....
UNLIKE Jesus,
Walk the same!
This flesh I wear. Her eyes I have.
Her memories are mine.
But I am not her.
She had never identified...
She never had the eyes to see.
Not like me.
And never again
to be.
