injuriously

Mother,

You were always the one
who understood me
better than anyone else
and so much more than self,

and
you didn't understand me at all.

Father,

Everything you tried to do,
to do all you could do for me,
was all I ever could have hoped for,

though
nothing could have been done
by even the most capable. 

Lover,

You tamed the savage beast in me,
that beat us both, in the end,

when
all was said and done,
in the this, that never ends.

God,

You gave me everything
I ever needed
to have what I needed,
when there was

nothing
that I needed,
but now I am in need.

Find me All,
in loving arms,
free from harm,
from self 
and
world injuriously enduring.
