Take my hand, or burn my soul
By Lylani
Perfectly poised
Like a ballerina on a tightrope
Every muscle
in absolute harmony
She would pirouette
Beneath the old church
arches
Candle light dancing on her skin
Like the ghosts of
lovers past
Her face never betrays
The strain upon her soul
As the choir raise their voices in devotion
The defiance in her
heart
Rises to its own crescendo
She leaps
Without care
But lands with perfect grace
Her tears
The rain on stained
glass windows
Her dreams
Their washed out colors in the moonlight
Searching for a saviour
Or
The key to her coffin
She reaches
But no-one takes her hand
Instead
They throw
scripture like stones
Still she holds her form
A vision
of innocence bathed in sin
such lonely beauty
They crucify
her
With their judgments
Nail her to the cross with razor
blades
Drink her blood in communion for the damned
To cleanse
their souls of guilt
Still there is no retribution for the 'one'
The one who lead her to the
gates of hell
