Using the Night
While you were away
Building yourself
A life that made sense
I was running blind
And struggling
To understand
Why God
Fed me confusion
Ignored my tears
And forced me
To have sex
With strangers
There has never
Been a time
In my 54 years
On this planet
That I have felt
Peace or trusted
In another
Human being
To not ultimately
Fuck me over
It is what it is
