family lies

untie our blood

hard to believe

the people you looked up to

are lying

burning off my roots

they will collect the ashes

I don't feel safe here

accepting

they point fingers

I am wrong

they are right

every time I comeback

nothing has changed

they look the same

I misplaced my trust

they laugh when I fall

I brainwash myself with the good memories

we can't go back to the time

pulling out the knives

they cut me deeper and leave me bleeding

let me bleed out

I don't want the blood of hypocrites
Slouched across the sofa
so far, so good
and then
the doorbell rings.

" Is Jesus in your life?"
intoned the witness for Jehovah,

I informed him that I was married
and the question was irrelevant,

he left
with a puzzled frown on his face,
I went back to my place on the sofa,
so far, so God.

You
Everlasting madness,
distinctive chaos,
yet I still crave you more.
The flower on the sidewalk
was uprooted ...
planted in a garden

From the dusty road
to a safe haven

Winter
bloomed
as if it were the summer season

Where I have arrived,
is a story I long to tell

Take a slow walk, beloved
Enter the garden
