58

tonight i offer you flowers
for leaving my temple
when i would fast
for fortnights
to worship you
now i know better
than to not banish those
from these holy stairs
who ask me to starve to death
as a tribute to make up for my sins
and pay my god to prove my worth

~ thank you for giving up on a bond
where i did not respect myself
beautiful punishments grow
towards the sky
