Burn the Sinners
What does your god think of me?
Why does he look at me, why do you
Look at me,
With contempt dripping from your eyes
It mixes with the blood
On the floor, with my tears.
What does your god think of the girl
That holds my hand, and
Whispers secrets in my ears,
As my lungs fill with sand
And you drag her down, into the
Dirt. I am a child, and you are
Smashed thrones, and the broken music box
I would fall asleep to.
Your god is frightened
By a young girl, and I am frightened
By the cracks in your skin
When she tells me she loves me, and I
Say it back.
I hear the angels, outside
My window. I will bathe myself in their water
And watch my skin turn
Red, and flaky.
And you will hold me tight
On this kitchen floor, with the blood
And the tears, and your ink
dripped malice. Rock me to sleep in your
arms, as I throw
the first stone to my head.
