Prominence

leave me out till I decide
to think about pain honestly
recoiled at any sense of slight
as I pruned away at decency
leave out what we knows right
leave you gagging on my ecstasy
prove somehow I’ve grown despite
all the evidence
spent the best of my time
won’t believe it
pressed against that basement wall
could I say all I wanted
think of you as an alter
what could I hope to offer
seen life on the other side
now I need it
I still see my hands on you
revealing all that I’ve needed
think of you as an alter
what could I hope to offer
hope to offer
