You.
In the light of everything that stand upon the earth,
there's only you that I stand in the shadow of.
Trembling, whimpering,
that single step that could bring us close and separate us,
all the same.
I place my hand upon my heart
and feel you.
You stand in place of the sun,
that dazzling light,
the heat that keeps me warm and burns my eyes.
I worship you
like the gods of ancient time.
The lambs and virgins I sacrifice to satiate your lust, your hunger;
you are never satisfied.
At your feet, I shudder and whisper the prayers
you could only hear.
But none of this matters to you.
For I am to you a mere speck of dust
in this infinite space.
My highest reverence, my love.
