Scam Artist In The Sky

A Poem by Laura Maidah

It started with a picture that sits in his frame; we parted with the word "forever" and he left his hand print on the door. Now we're under the sheets; you're killing me. In this house made of paper, you're marking blood stains over me.

Your rhymes all over me; your words covering me. Ink my face. Oh, guy! Tape me up when I'm on my weakest. Oh, but your more is less and that is your biggest mistake. You're in my space, a scammer raping my name. Like all those little men before, you're on me while at my sleepiest.

It's a shame I don't know what I'm running from. Would my very thin bones have to break and your fight turns off? And of all those things you've never explained, you know why you are this giant in a sky so full of history. Dead stars are light years away, five meager minutes of eternal everlasting. Ever are you lovely, God. Ever are you Holy. Ever are you faithful, and ever do You rape me.

I'll sleep, so love on me longer. Your crimson quotes in my veins; He is whispering my name. Oh Christ, make love over me harder. Make me Scream: Holy holy is the Lamb who was SANE.

He treaded water. He was a mortal man, flesh and red in our bones. But you make me something more. I like it here, beside you dear; you're even more than you appear. In those skies, my head is clear. I'm a ship sailing and the seas are rough. In this suspension you're not close enough.

"What you've given me is more than I can say

‘Cause I don't know the words to thank you properly
You pulled me from the grave and stood me on a hill
And when I was afraid you made me still

For the love you bring, owe you everything
For the breath you give, you're my cause to live
For everything under the sun, I owe you one

Chaos all around, explosions and fire
You took me off the ground and lifted me higher
When trouble knew my name, that was before you
Now I'll never be the same, now that I know you

For the love you bring, owe you everything
For the breath you give, you're my cause to live
For the love you bring, owe you everything
For the breath you give, you're my cause to live
For everything under the sun, I owe you one

Oh, oh

For the love you bring, owe you everything
For the breath you give, you're my cause to live
For the love you bring, owe you everything
For the breath you give, you're my cause live
For everything under the sun, I owe you one
