I don’t believe in God, but you made me pray to Aphrodite, whisper to Venus, call out to Rati in the dark. Tell me-who else is left? Your God forbids it, doesn’t He? But I would rewrite His laws, tear down His heavens, if it meant I could have you. What must I do? Tell me-what offering is enough? Is there a ritual beyond bowing at dawn, a sacrifice beyond surrender? Or is He simply deaf? Does He turn away because He knows He could never love you the way I do?
