Moby's song 'Why Does My Heart Hurt So bad' inspired this poem.
My Heart Hurts
by Adele Sakler
when my mind thinks of you,
hurt wells up in the deepest recesses of my heart, and
yells out loud, 'stop
doling out your religious platitudes!'
of course it's all you know,
especially
since you don't know me at all.
My head spins and checks out as
you piously
heap your religious attitudes into my
ears
and
run your mouth as
though you think i'm really
hearing you
unload on me.
rhapsodize if you must,
to feel good about yourself.
such talk is nothing but an
obituary to a religion i know longer
believe in or
ascribe to on this particular
day.
