Human Sacrifice
A poem about what I would do for you
Human sacrifice
is a subject in which I have
very little knowledge
what I can gather, in some tribes and cultures
a sacrifice is needed to please
a higher power
a god
and this I know because of
exposure from media
But from this, I have learned that the soul
is a meal and is always ready to feed
what it believes in
I’ve never been one to
understand how someone
can be so unselfish and trade their life for
something they stand for
Until I met you
Allow me to be the human sacrifice
you need to bring your happiness back
Slit my throat so I can bleed
all over your insecurities
and paint them a different color
If my body is what is needed
to see you smile again
then allow me to jump
into the volcano like it is
the first day of summer
burn my hair and use the flame
to keep you warm
cook my flesh and
feed it to the demons
who keep you up at night
Let me be the vessel
that will take you to
your peace take my
soul and use it as a
one way ticket
to your sanctuary
You are my new religion
so I happily give you my husk
release my spirit so it can
walk hand and hand with
your rebirth
This is not something that
I do lightly not everyone
will see my eagerness
to make them happy
the happier you are the
faster the offspring of our past
dies and that is what I need to be liberated
I would move mountains
align the planets
changes the tides
whatever it took to
see your smile one last
time so that I may understand
what it looks like without me in it
this will allow me to find mine too
You are so much bigger
than you believe my
breathing deity let
me be your human sacrifice
so that you may realize it
