Here are the words
of this object’s confession:
I’ve spent a great deal
of time pressed against Heaven.
But being so close
when denied holy union.
Was torture at worst
and at best just confusion.
I thought to be free
would release me from Hell.
But the Devil arrived
and enlightened my cell.
As he retched me free of
true Heaven’s embrace.
I found Hell was Heaven with my Hell replaced
by actual suffering; actual pain…
He showed me my torment
had been my own shame.
My own unacceptance
denied my admittance.
My disillusionment
blinded by brilliance.
My savior was there with me
there all the time.
But I failed to see
and denied him three times.
So Devil came calling
and caused my catharsis.
The damned saved my soul
when I saw light in darkness.
And burned in the bright
of that unholy day…
I learned what is right
and yearned not to stray…
Burned by transgression
and melted like chocolate…
Returned to the Heaven
of Christian’s back pocket.
