prayer to dark

***
|
||
|
||
we were born in the summer rain
|
||
the segway to autumn on the horizon
|
||
pit-pattering on an old woman’s kitchen windowsill
|
||
her own rain carving timeless canyons in her skin
|
||
|
||
I never put much stock in the seven deadly sins
|
||
until greed became my downfall
|
||
and I traded my wings, my flight, my freedom
|
||
for a measly amount of human gold
|
||
|
||
instant regret
|
||
|
||
hair sopping in the rain
|
||
I picked myself up and pushed past the searing pain
|
||
ribbons of ripped flesh still hanging off my back
|
||
|
||
we turned our eyes away from the light
|
||
so hard that we forgot how to see
|
||
so we built our own heaven
|
||
you and I, you and me
|
||
|
||
together until the end
|
||
