The Body


An endless aching need.
An agonizing tension.
Excruciating lonliness.
Exquisitely passionate memory feathered across pulsing lips.
A desperate desire to be touched, to be held, to be loved.
A drowning disappointment that such was ever lost
and will never come again.
A tactile wish for deadly cold
to freeze the inside and take away the pain.
Don't wanna feel.
Don't wanna hurt.
MAKE IT STOP!

The Mind


A weary responsibility.
An indisposible duty.
Determined mind over matter.
What is known over what is felt.
The shaping of an iron will to hang on.
To conquer despair.
Mental weapons used to battle destructive desolation.
Because the bible tells me so.
Whispered words of bravery
that conjure a civil smile.
How could they not know?

The Heart

An obsession to be free of emotional need.
A knowledge that turning to stone would not honor the Lord
or lead a son in the way he should go.
A compassionate nature.
A despising of self-centeredness in self and others.
Loathing versus Charity
Mercy. Loyalty. Friendship. Love
For everyone but self.
