Beauty / Terror

You look like proof of god

The feelings you cause me

They swarm me in the night

All consuming, unforgiving

Relentless

Even though I try

I try to fight it

Yet that doesn’t feel right

Sysiphus, never ending

So i let it

Go on and on and on

And on

Electric eyes

Dark and discerning

With a warmth

That thaws my veins

How do you know

Where to lick invisible wounds

So carefully

And without causing pain

If this is worship

Then I’ll kneel

If this is prayer

Then I’ll say your name

If this is terrifying

Then it is also beautiful

And I find myself no longer

Wanting to be saved
