Description
Bury all your secrets in my skin.
Choking out all innocence and breathing in each sin. As much as I fight not to forget each moment spent you're erasing, burning from my mind; each fragment I grab only slips through my defiled grip. These memories are blackened ashes staining my polished skin; the anointing oil is drawing crosses that are sinking them in.
If I can change I hope I never know. If I can let go I pray these chains can't ever break. The church air around me is starting to close me in, pressing my lungs against my ribs. It's fracturing my spine to bits. My entrails are compressing while my heart rips pressing your letters to my lips, cherishing them in parts of me being torn with every thorn and kiss. Stained glass windows fashioned as a cage are trapping me in with age.
I couldn't face my life without your holy, blinding light. I never thought I could destroy my demons without your grace, but all of that was washed away when you refused to fight.
So break yourself against my tides, let them baptize and drown you and all your angelic cries. All you wanted was control and something to call your own, so spit your pity in my soul. I'll bless you with my hold when there's more to your hollow shell than a mask that sold me out to earn your wings. Now I can walk without you playing me on strings and my voice no longer a tenth commandment, delivering your word. Save your breath for when you burn in hell. Brimstone air won't sustain all your lies you tell, for long. The same nails that dug into my back will crack and break when you claw the walls trying to escape.
If you still care, don't ever let me know.
