on my knees
i havent prayed
in half a year
Hell be waiting
for me at home
though. silent,
i fold
small hands
together. wait,
empty of words,
for thoughts to spill,
overwhelm us.
the cross stops
my mouth.
Amen
Words

- "That's the price tag, no discounts, no bargains. Losing my first love was like living in a perfect house, with the perfect front porch and matching dormers where the key finally worked to let me in, until without enough warning, it caught fire and was gone, leaving a thin coat of ash that would gray my life for years, making me cry when I saw a perfect front porch or a light shining from an upstairs window."- The One & Only Aunt Nancy
