Final Rites

The sun breaks.
I didn’t sleep.
They all seem so cruel.
If You didn’t keep

Reminding me
I would forget

That You love me.

This place feels
Like my punishment.
I crafted the choice
And the regret

Is impossible
To escape from

Deliver me.

Everything is in constant risk,
And all my friends
Became my worst enemies
If this is how it ends

Take me graciously,
Quietly,

Whatever You will do,
Do quickly.

And don’t let my enemies watch.

But in the wanng light,
The weeping faith,
The broken knees,
The forgotten love,
With all that’s left of me-
With nothing held back:

I still believe You.
I still believe it all.
