I steal love with the part of my lips, the fall of my chin, the reverence in my temples, // so I scoff with my unblessed prayer, my impossible keeper, my wretched skin, my faultless pleasure, // and grace swoons, puts me back in my place, mutters sin in my mouth, tightens grip in my hips, stokes flame in my skin, // threads pain inside, weaves mind inside, names fear inside, makes more inside, // and I am unfeeling of pardon, unwanting of heaven, ungoverned by god, not bothered, on purpose, not waiting on mercy, // and I stand with the evil, the blind, the kind, the pained and the stained, and steal love with them, because // we are unneeded by hell.

we are love-stealers.
I steal love with the part of my lips, the fall of my chin, the reverence in my temples, // so I scoff with my unblessed prayer, my impossible keeper, my wretched skin, my faultless pleasure, // and grace swoons, puts me back in my place, mutters sin in my mouth, tightens grip in my hips, stokes flame in my skin, // threads pain inside, weaves mind inside, names fear inside, makes more inside, // and I am unfeeling of pardon, unwanting of heaven, ungoverned by god, not bothered, on purpose, not waiting on mercy, // and I stand with the evil, the blind, the kind, the pained and the stained, and steal love with them, because // we are unneeded by hell.
