I was spread like cloth on altar
Sacrifice
I almost lost me
In lust and deception
He came, Told me all I had ever done
Like psychic, I thought
Told me my heart and its secrets
My future and past
Prophecy
I admired him for his gift
And I almost gave all of me away
Like bread taken and broken for men
Brother was like sheep and wolf
Peace and wrath
Told me God sent him to help me
He like Moses calling Joshua, I thought
The girls at church look at him like lions on prey
He looked at me the same way, only I lay unaware
He told me all I had ever done and I trusted
Prophet and Pastor
And I almost lost me, me
In lies and false tales
My second time was with oil from which he laid hands with on Sunday
Whispers in my ear
Him sucking, our secret
Sleep overs
Special times in his office
And he laid me, like linen on the communion table
Offering
Spread me like woman
I gave in, I trusted
Him Cumin
Me, panting and deep breathing
Pain feeling like He is ripping me apart
And I let it happened stunned
As his friends watched and stroked
I remember it like flashes
Old movie on strips
I trusted
I almost lost me
In words and hopes, aspirations of a God-man
I was 15 years old my second time
He told me all that I had ever done
Told me I would be like him one day, a Preacher
