My Temple.

My arms are a tigers tail.

My body is a temple, or was.

Should be.

Though I have vandalized it.

I could not kneel before the King

And say to Him, I have done wrong.

I refused.

 

A swelling rage infused me.

I slashed the walls, the translucent skin of my Temple.

I chipped away at its beauty.

Now my arms are a tigers tail-

And my heart is non-existent

My Temple Has Burned
