In which you are alone

A certain kind of fear will find you

when you realize that you are alone
              It tastes salty
              this fear

Acidic

potent

              overwhelming

 And God is far
                He has been

                for quite some time now

                You think you meet him

                at your early rises

                but perhaps your mind

                is playing games with you

 

You have nobody

                It hurts when you realize this

                when you accept it

                No one but the beat of your heart

                at least that one belongs to you

                that organ

                It is yours for the keeping
