The boys who stole my innocence On Facebook funded mission trips, A worship leader in the church That guitarist’s fingers strummed me first. And not even til like his third or fourth try, But, you know what? It’s cool, I hear he’s actually a really great guy. I only resisted two or three times, Said, “men are too visual, can’t interpret your signs.” Besides, he’s God’s chosen, a man set apart in his time— (But I say of men anointed, very few will rise.) No hymnals for worship, this churchboy’s lips sang of me Instead of the Gospel he was spreading my knees Lies like ether, no sweeter wool for my eyes Wet toothed and vile, shameless in his guise. He says Jesus saved him; who was there to save me? Perdition for a seductress—they call it PTSD. And when his lips brush heaven, God will taste me; My trauma at least, will have immortality.
