Found this buried among my notes, and probably should have stayed that way, but, what the hell. It's surreal and short enough not to be too troubling to read.
I bought my face from a beggar
and kindly he threw in his name
I got two eyes from a blind man,
but he wouldn't give me his pain
I took rage away from a killer
and murdered his innocent sin
I opened the door to my window
Looking out for the serpent within
From the deaf I stole suffering silence
They never knew I came by
I tore the wings off an angel
as he fell from a cloud in the sky
I counted the beats of my rampaging pulse
as death hurried to my heart
Awake I slept where no one wept
and now the world and I are apart
