heretic (07/12/19)
my body is a temple.
he comes to worship nightly.
slams these doors wide open
knowing they were only ever expecting him.
my body is a temple.
he bounds inside,
starving for my holy water.
feels me on his tongue and can't help but praise.
my body is a temple.
he ambles in the door,
humming my hymns
with no memory of their lyrics.
my body is a temple.
but i think
he might be
losing his religion.
