Saved I heard this voice Inside my head Is it okay If it feels like this The god complex. I clinch Every time a car passes Yet the on the highest peak Of the human flesh I rise And peak like the skies As they kiss the mountain peaks Trying to recite a prayer My heart has revised many times before But my lips Could only take turns At practicing on the skins of others How many "hail mary's" Does it take To wash away My sins His bed knows More names than "I" But it knew well enough To not name a sound The same way I never do As he took a hold Of whatever was left Of my soul after A few shots encountered Raising my voice As it loses itself beneath my breath I call it the resurrection Of before the toxicity When temptation bit it's lip And I was so taken That I still find It flows just beneath my skin.... And I hurt ... As though I've never felt The bleed escape my skin... As though I've never let My tears flow and taste The browns of my cheeks -Thembekile kilay deh'poet tsaoane
