prodigal daughters
“your sins are forgiven”
my lips pray as they are pressed to your face
i don’t care if it’s sacrilegious
i’ll say it anyway
it only took two years for us
to kneel before each other and repent
prodigal daughters asking for a chance of renewal
i will never say no to what heaven has sent
please hold my hands i give you permission
if you needed my blessing you have it
sitting here before you studying your smiles
don’t make me guess anymore
lay yourself bare for me so i can savor you
like we were meant to
and we’ll worship until our regrets
turn into utterances of healing gratification.
