Love Poem: Contrition

Contrition

Tonight I’ve questioned my religion 
Second guessed what was a given 
'Cause I found heaven, I was in it 
Left god with all my inhibitions 

Forked tongues do best to listen 
And I’m much like a politician 
So when he spoke our shared condition 
I found rest in the admission 

He’s an idol, he’s a witness 
To my love of the forbidden 
He knows there’s no competition 
No living thing could come before him 

I will forsake what has been written 
Then sign my name to the revisions 
And you will find in my additions 
That I no longer show contrition
