Wrap Me Up And Tie Me Up Poem by Kevin Carney

Wrap me up and tie me up…
Push me down into the river of tears.
Hold me down so I cannot breathe…
Put your hand on my heart.
Dig deep and pull it out…
Hold it tight and lift it to the black moon.
See it beat in your bloody hand…
It’s only a matter of time.
Look at the cross around my neck…
Black it’s become…
I’ve cursed it before all.
It’s you who has forsaken me…
Faith, I wanted to believe…
Crept from the shadows.
Into the void of darkness…
Hidden from the light of right…
Drinking from the cup of dark waters.
Drowning out any illusion of doubt…
Knowing that the night has become the end.
That the dawn of the morning will never come…
Destroying me in the end…
