There, an alter drenched with stains
Rusty and ancient
A lonely finger caressed smooth marble
A Crumbling ode to a lost Deity

There had long been an offering
To that thirsty Goddess
Only one, but the blood remained present for long after
Old and decrepit after centuries of time

And there was a poor lamb, lead to the sparkling marble
Already starving and at the verge of collapse
And there the lamb was tied, to that alter
Left in the embrace of the Goddess
Where she slowly restored it to health and happiness

The lamb did not know through all of its glee, what was to come

The blade that rested across its throat
Waiting for the moment...
I don't really have much to say about this one except, well like all of my poems, the meaning can be taken literally and figuratively but the figurative meaning is a bit harder to pin down. I encourage you to state your opinions.

I would like to give thanks to :iconsamanthakayla: for pointing out a couple of errors in my poem. Thanks~ :D

This poem, at least how I see it, is a perfect example of betrayal and usage of the weak and helpless.
