Goodbye Jesus

I’ve said goodbye to Jesus
rolled him back in his tomb
strolled the nights alone
and closed the doors behind us

He was heavy baggage, nobody wins
not when their story
their power and their glory
are all contained within

I live freely and do not pray
the devil in my ear
no longer speaks of fear
but lives for the next day
