To Catch The Conscience (14 of 16)

 

I'm trapped in his play
performing for an unaware audience

I struggle as I hear his words
so filled with desire
even as they come out of another's mouth
I feel his hands on me
and
heaven help me
when I sing
I sing for him

I sing to him

From a dark depth inside me
I reach for him
and discover
I have him in my arms

I lift his safe cloak of darkness
bringing him into the cruel light

There is no forgiveness
for the hell
I am about to send him to
