Oh Holy Mother fallen from grace
Wipe the sins from this wretched face
Tears have burned through angelic skin
Unleashing the power and desire to sin

Raised alone in black widow’s web
I found my way into the devil’s bed
Now with love as my victim, I thee wed
Time is running out in my hourglass of red

Through a broken vow of chastity I was conceived
Innocence stolen by a man of God
A conception no one would ever believe
Mother and daughter, peas in pod

A vow to God shattered, a family left alone
Fertilized the anger that burns in my soul
So to be God’s child I need no Holy Water
For I am already a Father’s daughter

I held great anger for years over this,  God had since delivered me.

This is an exceptional piece of raw, honest writing. Be well dear poet for your slate is clean.

Sigh, we have no control over our birthing circumstances, only what we ourselves do as adults. It's good to move forward, without anger, without guilt or resentment.
