fleshless beings,
break me soft
to take the remains
of my godless vessel
but please,
eat me with kindness
yearn for my disparity
with lilies for lips,
roses for cheeks
yet thorns for eyes.
and when you kiss
the ever-flowing ebb of my
draining heart,
when you maul me of my dignity,
and shred my pride
til i am
but an orphan of god,
i will allow you to enter me
with the grace of a thunderstorm
thunder masking the sound of my screams
as your lightning scars my concrete mind.
