Salivating

Hands bound

In waiting

Severed

From the bosom of the lord

Denial

In righteous exile heading towards…

The final duel

Of pure and vile

Tenaciously and endlessly

Searching

Unrelenting

Straining

To see through

what once held light

Wilting

In the face of what you’ve seen

Acceptance

Of what you’ve become

The oath you now take

Mired in cruelty

Bathing in the sin of god

Won’t let them

Ever forget

You

And the shame…

So heavy the head

that bears the crown

With open arms

I wait for you
