There was nothing immaculate about us
When you erected the Virgin
Your ignorance was not bliss
I was the immortal sinner.
Watch my teeth tear through skin
A mouthful of that crisp wetness
Never tasted a lick of deceit
You forgave too easily, you always do.
On the Lord’s Day
You pressed my lips apart like an ocean
Maybe if you could walk on water
You could force me to love you.
You’ll never see the light
My heart is the sea, unbreakable
I reeled you in to my depths
Only to spit you out once more.
I was all seven sins
You were so possessed by them
You forbid anyone else
From ever reaching that unholy light.
You drop to your knees for me
The floorboards are worn thin
With those grains imbedded in your skin
You thought I’d take you to church.
You were crucified
I was your cross
I watched as my nails dug in so deeply
Your skin consumed them

It was never a sacrifice.
It was suicide.
