To My Lover,

Is it too much?

That I saw Heaven

and still would rather

pop a pill than deal

with the devil telling me

that I will never be enough?

Because sometimes pain and shame

weigh more than hope and faith.

Redemption just sounds like a word

they use to comfort Lucifer's slaves.

And I can only feel God

when guilt eats through

my skin and into my heart.

I don't have a bad heart

but while I'm on this earth

there will be scars and hurt

that tear me apart.

I know you may need to go

but I'd like it if you'd stay.

Because one day up above

it'll all be okay.
