Crucified Little Earthquakes

~inspiration Tori Amos, Crucify

looking for my savior to undo me

under the rubble of victims remission

my chained heart nailed to a cross

lust'd sheets beneath the dirty streets

crucify myself lookin' for imprinted adoration

little earthquakes of my soul unload'd

save me from myself and these blood tears

my heart thunders like a roller coaster ride,

struggle to captivate your poetic prowess

never good enough to leave my impassioned stain

severe'd connections in feeble breath's wake

washed away in torrents within ocean's depth

castles crumble in the chaos of my mindless muse

Often times we crucify ourselves over the pain others have inflicted on us. The act of confronting and dealing with the trauma on a daily basis is its own torment. Layer upon layer of suffering is expressed in your words with such heart breaking clarity.. x
