Her faith was engorged with lies
Too many times he penetrated her with beliefs that tainted her soul
Her sheets, bloody red
She screams for salvation
But God is silent
She looks for him everywhere
In the street corners, the sidewalks, the alleyway
She even tried the sky
But all she saw were galactic drops that exploded on her face
Drowning her in emotion
Tears magnified as raindrops
She cries herself to sleep
Wishing her salty tears would burn the cuts away
Wash the blood away
There will never be a way
To erase these internal scars that resides so beautifully inside of her
Nothing can scrub away the sweaty palms from her skin
Imprints of Lucifer’s wings on her temple
He had no right to enter it
But the word no was excommunicated from his vocabulary
God burst into flames as he forced his way in
There was no one to save her
She feels him watching her
Forever looking over her shoulder
His presence suffocates her
And he hides in the dark shadows of her mind
No longer can she enjoy stars on a brisk night
For her fear engulfs her
And she shuts her eyes whenever a shooting star happens to pass by
Just a second too late
Just a second too late
The cops were a second too late
The 911 calls were a second too late
And as he ripped her clothes
And allowed blood to flow down her leg
She finally saw God
He was reaching down for her from the blackened sky
But God was a second too late
And now she wakes up in the morning
Looks at her broken soul reflected through her green eyes and wishes for peace
Her pain implodes within her heart and I feel her pain as potent as she does
I’m tired of being forced to look at her every time a mirror is placed in front of me.
