MESSIAH

You were my messiah 

you had me on my knees 

obeying every word like holy scripture 

drinking your promises 

like the blood of Christ 

bowing to your every whim 

as if you were God incarnate 


You were the crucifix above my bed 

casting a halo of lies 

over my head each night 

and I kept worshiping you 

even when you spat on my prayers 

even when you turned your back 

on your most faithful acolyte 


I bled for you in silence 

pricked by your thorns 

burned offerings of my own worth 

nailed myself to your commandments 

because I thought suffering 

was the price of love 


I rebuke you 

I've torn out your gospel 

I've lit your bible on fire 

now your cathedral is empty 

and your pitiful sermons 

fall on deaf ears 


You are no longer my God 

you are just another false prophet 

preaching to an empty room 

while I follow my own righteous path 

immune to your accursed lectures 

that only ever taught me to hate my weakness
