didymus by cuni

we only talk when I’m beaten up
when my shoulders are carrying way too much
not trying to avoid you I just forget
you keep untying nooses around my neck

the sign on the side of the road told me
“you’re not alone” but
The words unravel to the ground,
Is it faith or empty hope?
Now they
Say you’re always with me,
So why
Do I still feel the same?
If you’re
Only here to watch, then
What difference do you make?

So can you burn
A candle for me?
Even if you think that it won’t work
In this twisted form of liturgy

we only talk when I’m beaten up
when my shoulders are carrying way too much
not trying to avoid you I just forget
you keep untying nooses around my neck
