 Shoehorn

You were weighed in the balance
and found wanting
and all of our sins 
destroy temples

oh fall of the west
star in the east
you don't get a second chance at 
this
and my heart is split
because of it

the entire church is split in two

half way to 
two 
thousand 
a rip
a tear 
and scales mete out 

copper on 
one side
cash
on the other

a catalytic conversion
I can bring it back to religion 
but you wouldn't get saved

never 
loved 
you 
just dragged it out to use your flesh
as if love were something to choose

just be better 
goddamnit
be her
goddamnit
