With the hands of a lover
You caress my flesh
Soft hands
Soft flesh
Soft caresses.
With the silence of a priest
You hear my confession
Ritual prayers
Ritual penance
Ritual absolution.
With the kiss of a traitor
You betray me to death
False kiss
False testimony
False friend.
With the words of a judge
You condemn my beliefs
Harsh words
Harsh beliefs
Harsh judgement.
With the love of a Mother
You bestow me with life
True love
True gift
True worth.
