A Piece of Me
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
How does one enter your kingdom?
as whole
and not in pieces?
Must I repent parts of me
at your gates?
A piece of me
is made of
abominable love
The one I love is
the piece I can’t give up
He’s the reason the ground
below the precipice
never claimed me
That’s a piece of me
I can’t repent.
We’re taught your love is pure, divine
but where does it end?
Will your gates open
and grant me heaven?
Oh! Father
If losing a piece of me
is your will,
Then maybe
I don’t want heaven.
