Sorry for not posting anything in so long, we had a really bad fire in the appartment building I moved into, so I was kinda homeless, and without a computer for awhile.

Anyway, this is something I wrote while hitchhiking, in the back seat with a driver that didn't speak English, all he did was offer me a paper and pencil. Sorry if the Grammer is off, I am tired and couldn't be arsed to fix it.

You asked me to build your alter, your shrine in broken times.
For you I became an alter. Your guide with steady eyes.
And yet I never told you, This shrine was build for two

I remember the first time you prayed before me, demanding of forgiveness, hopefull for your soul.
I was eager to kiss your worried lips,
washing you of all your fears.
You touched my face and thanked me.

All I ever wanted, was to be your salvation.

I remember the second time you prayed before me, asking for compassion, grasping your last hope.
With firm hands I assured you, wiping his sweat from your chest,
restoring you to innocence.
You fell asleep in my arms.

All I ever wanted, was to be your salvation.

I remember the third time you prayed before me, crying out for closure, desperate for a new beginning.
I wispered in your ear that I would always protect you.
I cleaned their blood from your shirt,
to help you find your pride.
You spoke of us and futures bright.

All ever wanted was to be your salvation.



Yes my dear, I was quite happy, so content to be your light.
I would of given always, just to keep you strong and safe.

Then, in my time of weakness, within a fall from grace.
I returned to find the alter cold, to find our faith had died.



I remember the first time I prayed to you, pleading for your passion, so needing of your trust.
You handed me a letter, in it words of your goodbye. You striped the alter of it's Gold, and left it in the trash.

I see now, you never wanted the salvation that you held.


I guess I should of told you, this shrine was build for two
All I ever wanted, was for our prayers to see us through...
