Letters To God

Wrought with frustration, torn apart again;
Cut me to the bone and wrench control from
Dark and twisted corners of vile, part gin,
Wrote you this letter, born part of a sum.

I'll slice and whittle, and dance away in
Somber solitude and cry foul of them;
Those that cut me down to size with wry sin,
Whistling tunes that do belittle some men.

Why do you torment me? I bled then;
Bleed for me now, you must be numb
I am your savior and I'll help when;
When you see me in your heart's long dark end.

Write your letter with love dear...

Dear God. Sure wish you weren't a boy. That kinda screws it up for me. Written with love~N ps. Please don't think that this means I want you to be a girl. It doesn't mean that at all.
