God Knows You

The thickness of yesterday

Prevents me from breathing

I'm gasping - choking

 The denseness of the past

Suffocates me as I drown

Submerged in the discovery

Of secrets kept

Silent

Cutting deep into my marrow

Severing life from my heart

My voice is stolen

My life is shaken

There is Anger

Anger too venomous

Anger that is beyond

Understanding

Anger

Fueled by Kali’s breath

Filling my soul

I am overcome

There's a desire 

A compulsion

A calling

To hunt you down

The wanting of

Vengeance

The need for

Revenge consumes me

You should be a trophy

You should hang lifeless

On the nail that

Caused all our

Lives 

To bleed out

In this moment I now

Know what

and Who

True Evil

Is

You know what you did

You know what you harmed

You know how you harmed

You know who you harmed

You know you lied to yourself

And your soul knows

God knows

But then

You've always been smarter than

God 

So you've thought So

You've acted

You believe you are cool

You believe you are smart

You believe you are above it all

But God Knows

Your smirk

Your smugness

Your stench is over powering

You. Know. Who.

You. Are.

And God Knows
