Redemption

I have caught eyelashes in arid palms
Join me in the ever varying game
Kneel down on your scabbed knees
Teach me how to pray on a sunday
In halls that have eternally risen
Perhaps I will find sanctity
In a dwelling so different than my own
Grow with me, kiss the ground as I walk
Away, he tells all but me. Besides;
In darkness, I come to love you anyway.

They are bent on breaking you, but I
Never slightly considered
Changing you, living for you
Your regret is my redemption.

Along the glass
I have caught driven glances
And long clenched fingers
Steadily holding my unease
Close your ears to all that surrounds us
Filters, clutters, unhinges
Right is wrong
Even in your chest, you feel it
I inhale this, I breath it,
I inhale you.
