Adam

Adam calls me through the blizzard,

Crying for his supposed savior.

Thinking I could end his torment

With all of my misbehavior.


I stumbled onward towards the shouting

And the distant hazy light

But as our Mary loomed before me

My eyes were blinded in her sight.


Mother Mary won’t you save me

From this masochistic game?

Your icy tears don’t comfort dearly,

Much is sadness all the same.


Adam’s arms are twisting through me

As I lay down in the street.

His hands enclose my eyelids tightly

“Won’t you come to bed, my sweet?


He found me early in the morning

Buried three feet deep in snow,

Clinging only to the notebook

Filled with things I used to know.
