ISAIAH 50
Adultery is my biggest crime
I sleep on a deathbed and call it my haven
When it puts me miles further from heaven
I hide in the rose bushes and get caught in the thorns
Unable to follow and unable to see
To marvel in awe of the awesome seven seas
Asleep in my infidelity in dreams that I hate
I am wrapped in your swaddling clothes, a corpse in my grave
And I am too far under to hear your instruction
So I’ll let this casket be my destruction
To shield me from the spit of the crowd that
Waters the roots of the roses above me
I am dying a widow and killing another
As I leave my loyalty for liminal recess
Depressing deeper into deafening depths
While now I hear you cry, “My bride I envy your life”
While now I hear you cry, “My bride I envy your life”
