There's an empty pool across the street, you laid me down and told me to wait till the stars fell so I could drown in your love.
I was so terrified because you were the closest thing to God I was ever going to get, and I was trembling at the thought of telling my mother that God wasn't real, but a boy with Jesus in his eyes whispered things like "I want to break you apart, and throw you to the tides." was.
Maybe she'd see why you were favorite verse of the bible, with the constellations running around your shoulders, and the destruction of churches in your wake.
Maybe then I could tell her you were my favorite religion and the only thing I'd get on my knees for.
