Your gateway to endless inspiration
december 23, 2023 — holy
it was easier to believe
in tales of adam and eve
even though i could never find
the god they said was so kind
i'd grown used to it all
the gentle hoax the church befalled
a blind-faith religion or a cult of sacrifice
either way, it served only to pacify
so when you spoke the illicit truth
that you loved me despite my being a sleuth
you forgave the sins that were not mine to repent
and every dime, for you i'd spent
you showed me the truth of love
and it felt holier than any angel from above
