A Letter to God from a Sapphic Atheist

Dear God, She's phenomenal. She makes me feel Free She makes me feel Loved Seen Understood. God, I love her. But why, Why did you make me Nothing but a girl. I love you, she tells me In tears. She loves me, She loves me, God. But our love is a sin, You told us so. She whispers prayers in a kiss. Our love makes her feel Trapped Our love makes her feel Hated Invisible Misunderstood. Why, God, why can’t we love. Were we so wrong, To be young And in love. Damned to Hell. Perhaps She and I Will meet again there, And we can love without judgment.
