It etches its teeth deep within me.
I hear the click of its molars searching for me in the night.
But you lie beside me and do not cover my ears.
Instead you fill them with your song
your gospel.
You allow yourself to be uncapitalized
and the words you say to not be in red.
For though you were created human,
somehow you did not carry the darkness which we all carry.
Somehow you did not seek the light for pride.
Somehow you did not excuse yourself from the rules.
How can I not look to you and feel everything at once.
But the most remarkable thing is
that I love someone as dearly as I love my own family
and he died 2,000 years ago.
