Consumed

Only a few could understand
The pleasure in the pain
The endless screaming demand
Of that voice- and its disdain

They tell me "Look to Him,
You are His, seek God's aid!"
But my light of faith is dim
And I find comfort in the blade

I cannot be saved by wine
Much less by broken bread
I'll just draw a deeper line
Solace in those drops of red

With all this reverence and praise
I still hate to see you start
Because your life the blade with raze
None to help your breaking heart.
