Why didn't you come?
When I called out your name,
Dark and cold and alone,
With nothing for comfort but the shadows,
Moving across the wall like taunting cats,
Breaking me, killing me, Turning me
I slipped,
I didn't mean to, It just happened
The fire was so tempting,
I fell, and I felt and I lost control,
Freed from this prison,
The world was too much,
The Word wasn't enough,
And you weren't there,
To help me,
To love me,
To guide me,
No one to hold my hand,
I wandered into traffic,
And I slipped
And I fell,
And I died all over again.
Grasping for anything I found the mirrors,
I found the memories,
I found life again,
Alone and writhing in the grave you helped me dig,
I dug up, and found myself,
In the light of the new moon,
Bleeding, broken, yet more than whole
Dead but breathing
