helpless
watching them drag you away
gagged, bound in chains
blood dripping down your chin, your hands
they're afraid of anything different
and you, my love, are different
which is why they will tie you to
the stake
an artificial lamb
to take the blame for their sins
just like their savior.
But their savior
did not cry tears of blood
did not crave the lover's throat
nor spread himself thin
and float like the moon.
I hide in the shadows
eyes glowing amber,
a patient animal
waiting for my opportunity
to save you
and it comes as the men
lay the sticks at your feet,
offerings laid at the altar.
You're tied there, motionless
head hanging down
yet you still are aware
wearing a crown of crusted blood
on your head
as you wait for me
to save you.
I rush forward,
determined,
fighting them off,
but I find myself
a captive as well,
chained behind you
on the other side of
the stake.
No bravery now,
just a dead weight
of a soul who has sinned
over and over
and lived for far too long.
I grasp your hands
and clutch them hard
as they light the fire
and the flames begin to grow.
If we have to burn
at least we do it together
as it has been for hundreds of years.
My love, my child, my greatest sin,
hold my hand until the flames consume us
and the earth cradles our dark ashes.

Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."
