Dead Man Awakened

I have a deep desire,

A gaping hole,

A rabid need

To teach everyone

Their faults and flaws,

Just so their knees

Will kiss ground

And their eyes

Level with Yours.

But there I am,

Wrapped up,

Unconscious

In my folly,

My dead man

Awakened

With the graze

Of Your hand.

And when my

Eyes are opened

They can’t even

See because of all

I’ve incurred,

Injurious against

All those I love.

And yet?

You won’t stop

loving me.
