Crucified

Tie me down to your makeshift crucifix

Hold me close to your chest for comfort

Rake my skin with delicately painted nails

A pale saint with the eyes of a sinner

Watches as my light is extinguished

My whole world collapsing atop me 

I’m your love-struck savior 

All my best intents couldn’t save her 

And after tonight I don’t think I’ll rise again

I’ll waste away on your thighs and lips 

And with my last gasping breath 

I’ll praise your merry soul 

With the most beautiful words

Coming from a mouth without worth
