Do You Care?

How much spit do you have to wipe off your face? 

How many thorns do you have to remove after every curse we attach to your name? 

How many times do we have to bury you, and you come back with more grace and love? 

Every praise we give you feels like a blade piercing through the rib cage of eternity.
Twisting & grinding against the bones of peace

Looking into our eyes with the silent screams of forgiveness 
Looking legion into the eyes, screaming 
I LOVE YOU!
