you're a prayer

you folded your hands
tightly around me
and i choked and suffocated in your grasp
while you said iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou
you crushed my little wings
and i couldn’t have flown away
even if i had tried
and i was too dumb to try that

now you want me back
or that’s what they tell me
long after you left me bound and broken
you call my name alone at night
once again, i’m sorry to say
i cannot be your savior
i cannot be your lover
you’ll say those words again
ask me for forgiveness
you fucking bastard, no one died
no one died for your sins against me

and i said amen a long time ago.
