if I were loved any more than I am now

I'd be dead

what kind of love

blesses you for the very suffering it causes you?

what kind of gift

has such lethal strings attached to it?

I'd rather be dead than loved by you

you scumbag you vampire you freak!

                                                                              *

how in just a few hours one can go

from the highest heaven to the lowest hell

is a highlight of living in the earth

where God's love earns our disdain--

for my part I curse and go on
