Saving God

Don’t let me lose myself again The violence feasts, as it tears in A feeling worse than horror Swallows But tries, there is nothing there Hollow The itch follows Without catalyst Thoughts underneath paranoia Gobble And gobble The magma rises beneath As my bearings wobble A realization of death Without the threat If I could trust myself Let go of the net Now God descends into the pit I reach, my arms no longer exist Dispatch to find an alternate Begins, without any lead After 48 hours pass The fruit mutates No longer yields its seed But the monster has to eat I dangle, I lose my feet Squirm as I listen close My eyes have tremors And my nose is stuffed with smoke Wind barrels from the West Inhaled, lungs only can choke And choke Heart, alone to fight Or die under the weight of note Could I keep God from the fire By cradle of mind, by tote? The monster nibbles its teeth Sinking my only boat Just one last hold To freeze all that lies below
