Renewal. Over and over,

Pass one’s lips.

Gives relief to
The transgressor.

Crave cursed release.

New moments self creating
Endless perpetuation.

Relieve guilt, though gilded
With hypocrisy and lies.

That I have swallowed it all,
Is not your fault.
I swallowed the lies.
I swallowed forgiveness.
I swallowed our love.
