Forged in hell fire
Long before you stepped into my life
A force to be reckoned with
I greeted darkness like an old friend
Pain? I was already immune to it
Then one day, there you were
Light, warmth, like nothing I had ever felt before
Still cautious, I kept my walls up
But then your laugh became my favorite thing
Your touch silenced the demons lurking beneath my flesh
Your light healed the darkness in me
I allowed myself to be vulnerable with you
If I had known the pain you would inflict upon me
I would have remained in the darkness... alone
But how could I ever regret the beauty of the light you gave me?
I don't think I ever will regret it
But the lips that promised me always and forever
Are the same lips that left my body bruised with shadow kisses
Damaged dealt into my soul
Where the wounds will bleed until my last breath

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
