✞PRAYERBOX✞

"So pretty in pink-
My pills and my drink,
IT'S BETTER THAN BOYS"
She giggled at me

She lingered in the doorway
Of all my childish beliefs
Looked down on running mascara
Like it was a champion's feast

Eyes that sized me up without
Missing a single beat
With a look on her face
That said "I really could eat"

And as all of my lover's affection
Then fell missing, bittersweet
Like a prayerbox for an atheist
I no longer knew if I believed
