For The Taking

I believed my body was communion

Flesh and blood consumed

 

Like communion because so many taking it didn’t understand the sacrifice 

 

The flesh that was abused and the blood that was spilled

 

The toll it took

My body was communion

 

The flesh being animalistic

Devoured and growled 

Not passion but 

Power

 

The blood being not cared for 

Liquid pure became arsenic

 

For those that took communion 

Knew not what they did 

Nor how wrong it was to do it

The way that made the soul ache

 

I believed my body was communion

It was the message that was spread and I consumed it

It consumed others

They consumed me, me them

 

And us

we hurt 

we hurt

we hurt each other

 

But pain was inevitable, yes?

Wrong was right, yes?

We could do this, yes?

 

Our bodies were communion

Some did not chose

They know communion to be taken

Not to be offered

 

Our bodies were communion

We wanted to be consumed 

Now we know

Communion is sacred
