You took a vow of chastity
A fable, a tall tale, a myth,
Appearing pure before your holier than thou Father
Because in wedlock you were born
And named after a sin of your own.
Oh chastity.
Kiss me through your white veil
And tease me with your wooden skin.
Yield to me through the power of seduction,
For the forbidden fruit was I.
You have a jealous and possessive Father,
Alone in this world, until I was His.
Born of sweet apple, colored red.
Fables of my birth only a man rewrite.
We carved you together, my little doll
And I your mistress of the night.
A worrisome threesome this was,
As the devil danced with no feet
And watched the original pornography.
Chastity is what He chose for you
While making you in His image.
I am not divine,
Nor do I belong to a holy matrimony.
Chastity, let me change your name.
Let us lay on the earth, shaded from the heavens
And let Him paint His apples green and sour.
