godsent.
the universe engraved it
on my pillow
and on my wrist.
i'd kiss it
and would fall into heaven
right before
i'd float into hell.
i never thanked you
because i was too afraid
to feel that good
when all i knew
was the havoc
that i'd open my mouth to.
i never knew you.
but i'm getting to know me.
i thanked every piece of the throat
that broke you down,
that broke me down.
i thanked every spirit of rebellion
that drove you away and sank right back into me.
i thanked every demon i felt i was
and every light she gave me
so that you too, could understand yourself.
i thanked the ground for splitting in two
and holding a promise that one day
i could be just as beautiful as you.
