I said no.
Again and again
I said no.
Did you not hear that?
I said no.
But my words did not erect a wall of protection around me.
It's dirty, filthy touch still managed to seep through my defenses and scar my soul.
The moment it withdrew its claws,
I ran.
I ran and ran and ran.
On the way,
I bumped into a lady.
Her eyes were blindfolded
With a beam balance in one hand
And a sword in the other
I asked her to help me.
She told me that she doesn't see any sin
I repeated again
That I had said no.
But to her, my consent didn't matter
'Cause I said, "I do."
On that day at the altar.
