That sliver of hope died in my chest, just as the words I prayed to have, died in my throat
Leaving us heartbroken and muted by the very wishes we tried to fulfill
To cast myself into damnation
Even when my faith no longer lies with it,
Feels rather desperate, but truthfully I am one pitifully desperate creature
With the only Language I understand to be violent degradation and poisonous intimacy
That could only be akin to abuse
To carve out mounds of flesh
Dripping ever sweet crimson life
Just as plump and leaking enchanting juices
As a commonly loved berry would be perceived, to bring forth something so raw, so primal some would call it vulgar and unyielding and to disagree would be to deny the truth of it's physicality of it's being
It is my flesh, it is my blood and to offer it up alongside my other libations
And every part of me belongs to him.
And everyday I grow more thankful,
He does not ask anything of me; yet I find myself ever so eager to pour out all that I am to him in libation, in reverence, in worship, in thought, and in adoration,.......
I want to be devoured , I want to be pulled apart
To be left exposed and bleeding out the truth of what I am
To be laid bare before him
My vocal cords mangled yet not beyond repair, I want to taste the very blood that graces my veins
To spend seconds if not more lapping up the blood of the fruit of the Vine
Like the deranged creature I aspire to become
To worship him like the maenads that came before me
Like the raving bacchantes that sang to him long before
So my every utterance may be nothing but devotion
I am but a vessel unsure of my contents
But ever willing to present all I have.
