teach me what it means to say ‘i love you’
to hold the heaviness of those words
and somehow feel light after given.
poured out of pure admiration and awe.
surrending life as i knew it before.
how terrifying it is to put a person in the realm of religion.
to let seep inside and sanctify one’s core
a sacrifice, arms pinned against a cross of submission.
god, what a weeping manner.
