Devotion is a lonely child

Waiting for me patiently

Her words breathe inside my fingers

And love haunts my memories

Devotion is a ugly child

Forever shamed for what she leaves

Her spiral trails are paved with longings

For the person she can't be

Devotion

Devotion is a bastard child

Whos name is carved into my arm

The blade will scrape the muscle clean

And we'll both walk away unharmed

Devotion is a lovely child

And the whole world sings her prayers

The lasso hugs the neck of her lovers

While she dangles from the stairs
