You Were Never Loved

Wounds of Recollection

Each late night reading Prodigal Son My name is etched in between each line As the words; they well your eyes Each count of my breath brings me closer to The worst thing that has ever been said by you These horns you see Surfacing Twist into the only way I keep myself alive The last thing I hear is - “You were never loved You are not a part of us Each foul breath you take Spits in the face of the God that has promised me grace” I was so afraid of the person I knew I was I walked in the path of saints Guided by spiteful acolytes To an emptiness I can never put into words To the final resting place of the peace that I wanted to know “You were never loved.” I know. I feel it gnaw on my bones.
