I CAN SAVE HIM
I CAN BRING HIM TO A PLACE… BE THE SPACE
HE NEEDS TO FACE HIS DEMONS
HIS TORMENT
AND GLADIATOR, DEFEAT THEM ALL
I KNOW THIS
I CAN DO THIS
I CAN BE HIS SHIELD
HIS BREASTPLATE
BE IT MY FATE, TO TAKE THE BLOWS SOMETIMES
BE THE IMAGE OF HIS FOES
AS FISTS CONNECT WITH SOFT FLESH
IN ME
I CAN SAVE HIM!
HE HAS HONOURED ME WITH HIS DREAMS
HIS DEEPEST FEARS
HE HAS DEVOURED MY LIFE AND MADE ME PART OF HIS
OF IDENTITY? MINE IS NO MORE
INSTEAD, I SAVE HIM
I AM HIS REDEMPTION
THE BLACK EYES
THE BROKEN RIBS
THE LOST TEETH
ONLY STRENGTHEN MY BELIEF
THAT HE WILL DO MOST ANYTHING TO KEEP ME
IS THAT NOT THE GREATEST LOVE?
THE ESSENCE OF PASSION?
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS… THIS IS MY DESTINY!
WHAT I WAS CREATED FOR!
WHERE ELSE SHOULD I GO?
HE IS MY BEGINNING AND MY END.
HE KNOWS MY SOUL
LIKE I ONCE KNEW MY SPIRIT
BUT IT IS ALIEN NOW
IT LEFT WITH THE AMBULANCE
KNOWING FULL WELL I COULD NOT SUSTAIN IT
IT ABANDONED ME
IN THE MANNER THAT FLESH IS WONT TO DO
MY SPIRIT HAS ENTERED NO MAN’S LAND
TO BEAR THE SHAME OF MY SUBMISSION
SPIRIT SLEEPS IN “THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES” NOW
DEMORALISED
INCOHERENT
BUT I CHOSE THIS…DID I NOT?
I NEEDED TO FEEL THAT I BELONGED TO SOMEONE
SO, I CHOSE SACRIFICE
FOR THE GREATER GOOD…HIS GOOD
I STAND IN THE GAP
LEST HIS DOPPELGANGER WIN
AND DEVOUR THE GOOD MAN
I KNOW HE IS
INSIDE.
