TW: Christian theme

——✝️—-

If I could just say the perfect words,

if I could show you.

If I could make you feel.

It all escapes me,

I shift under the burden

and try to wipe away the blood.

I rise to the occasion,

and pour out another shovel

full of dirt atop my head.

I bow, I stand.

I’m not the same anymore.

I’m not the shame anymore.

Make me burn again, Lord.

Make me the inferno,

the searing sun.

Consume me and have me consume.

I’ve dropped the cross, send me

someone to help me lift it.
