Bathed myself in anguish Stared from afar As I became his target Set me on fire The show must go on Thought I weathered the storm He had all the footage he needed My heart sunk Eyelids dropped lower Smile turned into a frown Wrapped in disappointment I lost But I never had a…
Unfamiliar.
I knelt down on the pillars of this churchThis time it was different The first time I entered these doors was with an uncle I remember as clear as day how overwhelmingly beautiful it was to me It’s where I was introduced to God Baptized as a child, held over this holy water as it…
I’m sober.
