lyrics

pouring coffee for me
she gave me a smile

such a pretty girl
turned to the side
protecting herself from the stares
such a pretty girl
with such a deep scar

just below her eye
down her cheek
to her mouth
a white scar

I leaned into the counter
every eye in every booth on me

“ what monster cut up that sweet angel “
“ no one deserves that “
“ such a shame, a shame. “
“ she’s still so pretty, but… what a shame “

she motioned me to the back,
I followed her through the kitchen
sliced bread and beaten eggs

through the door
now outside
three hours past midnight

she reached over my shoulder
kissed my neck
her arms slid down my broad back
and from my back pocket
she pulled my blade

with her hands in prayer
she unfolded my knife
her scripture
the blade, her bible

blood raised in her veins
a choir of angels

feet together
and head down

her hands reach for mine
she slides me the blade
while she softly cries

Her voice - barely a whisper
yet steady and sure

she says
“ take me to heaven”
and turns her virgin cheek to me

I raise the blade,
because after all -
this is how saints are made.
