SAVE ME

POSTED IN contemporary poetry July 15, 2013

Save me
 
Rescue me
from the demons in my head
Save me
from the creatures
I have fed
Rescue me
from the church of Rome
Save me
to find my way home
Rescue me
we’ll never be alone
Save me
when the end comes near
Rescue me
we’ll have no fear
the biting rain
the sting of pain
a thought unchained
a runaway train
nothing to gain
the blackness of the night
covers me
thoughts of you
saved me
rhythms of the night
moved me
hypocrisy of the world
sickens me
lies of the church
disgust me
someone to blame
nothing but shame
the pounding rain
the screams of pain
a soul unchained
