For How Long

Taking it all
Not giving it back
Not able 
Not stable
To give it at all.

How long 
How strong 
Does one have to be

For me
Against me
How long
O Lord

When I descend bare
When I could not care
When I wasn’t there
How long 
until when

You wont be there.
O Lord
How long

Like horseman and lightning
It’s coming.
And here.

Double slice spear
Words, honey and shrapnel
You’re here.

So you make me take
And you make me drink
Consign me to choke
And take all the breath

That was first made for you.

How long
Will I take
How long 
Will you ache
Grasping for air
It’s not fair.

I already knew.

You do too.

What do I do

For how long
