She Left Me Burning

she left me burning     at an altar of contempt for a dream decaying     on a night rent from having passed     through the bowels         of Christ. my spirit spewed     out,          shredded     by the talons of a whore who left my heart bloodless,     no more than rancid         meat to be devoured             like dung          by the vile    worms of hatred. a plume of rancor     reaches to embrace a foul and faithless world,     the dark manifestation         of a dire soul     drowning in a dank         and poison pool     of fetid waste excreted by a mind      left to recant         love      and understanding. she left me burning.
