2:02am

when the time comes

and we’ve wasted our lives on the wrong true loves

will the proper gods forgive us

of our harlotry

how you held me so carefully

how i pursued you so gallantly

how we sold our souls to one another for only

a fleeting

moment

that would become of nothing?

what a waste of sin

and more importantly

will we forgive ourselves for never rekindling what could’ve been?
