Stigmata

Lyrics
No blood on my hands, but I still ache Every step I take feels like a mistake I keep your name beneath my breath Like a psalm that tastes like death You touched me soft, but left a stain Now every kiss recalls the pain I dress it up in quiet light But love like this don't look too right They don't see the holes you made Deep where all my prayers have frayed You never cut, you never screamed But I still wake inside the dream I wear your love like stigmata Bleeding where no one can see Holy wounds you gave me softer Than any crucifix could be You never hurt me with your hands But I still fall where I can't stand You left no mark, but God, it shows This love still splits me like a rose I laugh, I move, I even shine But pain like this is by design You taught me how to look untouched While breaking me with just a hush I take communion from regret You linger like a cigarette Still burning in a room long gone Still singing through a ghosted song You never meant to leave a scar But absence maps out where you are You disappeared, but I remain A shrine in skin, baptized in pain I wear your love like stigmata Scars in places no one sees You never asked for a martyr But I laid down willingly You carved your silence in my chest A sacred wound I don't confess And though you're gone, I feel it still The cross you built, the blood I spill Not all saints die in the light Some bleed in rooms at 2am And call it love When it's just Loss dressed like a hymn I wear your love like stigmata Wounds that bloom behind the smile No altar left, no hallelujah Just a ghost that stays awhile You didn't break me out of spite But even grace can bruise just right And every touch I ever knew Still aches like stigmata from you
