False Idols

she moves over me

soft kisses

small fingers

lingers

in the crook of my neck

the small of my back

runs her hand

over my piercing

licks and kisses my eyelids

we hold each other

because it isn't supposed to last

we aren't supposed to be here

why am I here

she laughs

I laugh too

then we remember what we're here for

& get back to business

she judges me

because I'm everything

she doesn't want

but I can see her

telling herself to shut up

(she loves it)

she kisses me

instead of saying

what we both know she's thinking

I hate being with her

but I tell myself to shut up

I kiss her

instead of asking her to leave

I should get a rosary

to hang over my bed

to remind myself

who I'm letting down

every time I abandon praying over my bed

& choose to pray over her body instead

He loves me

He loves me

I'm faithful with my fingers crossed

We both know I'm the one in debt here
