Face-down in the Holy Water

by revenant

Raining and thunder and lightening and frightened What happened to sunshine? Cold and starving and desperate; hopeless and desolate What happened to grace? Drown me in the waves crashing about in your mind Filet my heart with your calloused hands Love me in the pit of your stomach, where hatred lies anything but dormant Kiss me with everyone you are Destroy me in your wake You are a burning church, and I am face-down in the Holy Water screaming out hymns; trying to drown out the flames. I love you
