bath in the blood of mine.

i said i'd love with all my heart,
i'd break in half,
burn my split ends
and scrape the ash
that scatters in my hands.

but to you,
those were means to an end.
a foolish oath
to a love,
that's represents a band-aid
to your sins.

i was your hail mary,
your sacrifice
to an ole' mighty god
that promised wealth
in exchange for virgin love.

and i gave it to you,
as you drank and
became drunk
off the blood
of my sacrifice.
