Bene Gesserit

Bled my eyes last winter
My heart saw red
In that dingy motel room
Where sanity fled

I wrote a letter
It turned into a book
That turned into nine volumes
But you won’t get to look

When you killed what we had
Resurrected the real me
You couldn’t quench my loneliness
Now what I’d been denying
Was so strong willed
It lived

Every moment in my mind
I close my fists and I pray
Every moment of my life
I clench my eyes and I pray
Not to any god
The one who nourishes my time
Is not the one who left me here
Their demons lingering a while
The one who takes my flesh
Reminding me it’s mine
Let’s me do what I must
To this frightened little mind

She teaches me lessons
That won’t leave me blind
Each slice a caress
In the wound at my side

She’s more than you could ever be
Though she doesn’t even try
Reminds me that loneliness
Is where you truly find the mind

Well she struggles every day
To ease my worried heart
I never find the words to tell her
How she cares for my heart

I’m a victim of stupidity
But that is alright
For this woman I pray to
Tends my frightened little mind
