Rhapsody
A poem for the woman that raised me and abused me, and made my life a magical kind of hell.
The pain has metastasized and spread
Stage three heartbreak
A corpse above the ground
Swollen and yellow
Lilly-livered lymph nodes
Too late to ventilate hate
No mode to be mean anymore
Cast out the spirit of Jezebel
For his namesake
Awaken and arise all the lies of heritage
that never existed
Twist in the minds
Of all the little girls
Who were abandoned by mothers
Laugh when others call them a stray
Lay down the law
For missionary trips and positions
Throw children at men
Then call them all whores
Adore those same children
And cause them affliction
Give them buckets and mops
To scrub all your floors
Pour out your frustration
Then push them away
And abandon all others
Who open the door
Return from Stockholm
All you spring fairies
Sit with your syndromes
Today you can mourn
I miss you and hate you all of the time
