i hate you
for making me
believe
for a minute
that i could ever
be loved.
you breathed
faith
into my heretical heart
gone astray
from the ways of
feeling
made me think
i could sleep
with my eyes closed
again.
turns out
it is a godless world
and you are a liar.
i burned my fingers
that ran across
your lips
collected the tears
you made me
cry
in kegs
of gun powder.
i kissed you
like my savior -
worshipped you
at dawn
offered my soul
in altruism.
i gave my life
to a religion
of false hope
and illusion
but i burned
the Bible
of your promises
in the flames
of my tormented soul.
