the flower fadeth

Never Lilith, only Eve, less than equal, full of greed

Holy mother, answer me, if I bleed will I be

Nothing more than an open wound

Dripping dust into my tomb

As I lay where I was born, scoop me up, keep me warm

Place me now on your chest, reciting prayers into your breast

Dearest mother, let me stay

Your sacred womb calls to bay

Jagged flesh, eaten still 

Drink from me and you will

Live forever like I do

Cutting losses, planting new

Seeds in gashes, sprouting weeds

Bless me now, let them see

Your dearest daughter blooming through 

Poisoned thoughts ringing true

Running down for you to see

I bare to you the worst of me

Holy mother full of grace

Scattering down without a trace

Slipping past your loving hands

Falling down to the land

Disappearing into the ground

You leave me alone without a sound

I gather my branches and dig a hole

Curling up, I place my soul

Back into my one true home

Below the dirt, my catacomb

In any case, the time will pass

Sprouting up comes the grass

From my chest the lesion blooms

Sickly sweet and copper fumes

Blessed Lady, will you please

Break my stem and offer peace

Forgive me now for my sins

That is all I ask of Him

I swear to thee that I will 

Be your child and never ill

And once I trespass yet again

Cast me down to the land

This lonely home, I know it well

In my shelter, I will dwell

Waiting for you once again

To lend me forgiveness and your hand

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. Isaiah 40:8
