DO NOT

make me into an image
which flies into oblivion, embraces
bliss, turns into a burning light
which burns out
when all things are seen...
do not, have
pity on me Lord,
do not turn me into a fool
longing always for the woman I cannot have, longing
for that one night
which will bemuddle my fate
turn me into an apology,
do not hate me cause I am weak
and always long for your love
cause I know this world to be cheap
making me into a figment
a part,
a dreamy remnant,
do not make me into someone
I am not, do not make me lazy
for the world is...
do not hate me cause I reek
of sin.
