every day

- revelation -
yes it is always darkest before dawn,
and calm before the storm.
but today i know
that there are hundreds of ways
of living life without you.
but not one of them will ever equal
your absent kisses on my eager forehead,
or your shy touch on my willing body.

- denial -
i shall never return,
for i will never leave.

- immortality -
for a sinner cannot know what sin is,
until he brings himself to confession,
until his soul asks for forgiveness,
until the skies rain their anger upon him.
