My body is a temple I lay in the comfort of his arms Soaked in the venom of his lips Mesmerized by the whispers of his tongue Touched by the sins of his fingertips Every breath is a cry for help In the midst of self destruction Every gasp of instant regret Please apologize to my mother Every moan inflicted pain Of the parts he will uncover But if my body is a temple And my breathe the choir's song He will be allowed to come in He will be allowed to worship me Please forgive me For I am wrong (Jan. 2019)

My Body is a Temple
My body is a temple I lay in the comfort of his arms Soaked in the venom of his lips Mesmerized by the whispers of his tongue Touched by the sins of his fingertips Every breath is a cry for help In the midst of self destruction Every gasp of instant regret Please apologize to my mother Every moan inflicted pain Of the parts he will uncover But if my body is a temple And my breathe the choir's song He will be allowed to come in He will be allowed to worship me Please forgive me For I am wrong (Jan. 2019)
