He made me repeat
over and over
his name in the night
a prayer for safety
every time I woke up
night terrors and sweet salvation
he became preacher
and I believed
This incessant ritual
his name on my lips,
my desperate whispering,
I whimpered his affirmations,
waited for the miracle
to come.

He's gone now.
