Forgive me. 

As much as I would love

to believe that I 

could lay down my life for 

You, it still would not be worth 

the weight on your shoulders  

that comes with being crowned

into a dying world. 

The heart of man

is nothing like a mother’s womb. 

It may be flesh but it will never bleed for you. 

It will never stretch to make room for you. 

It will never keep you safe. 

I could never keep you safe.
