An Ode to People Who Loved Midnight Mass

A poem

Midnight Mass still

Your love is tainted
like an awkward stare
amid my soliloquy,

yes, I drank your blood,
the chalice was cold,
you were saving it for later

but it tasted so sweet
I couldn't resist
bursting into flames

to prove suicide
can be kind.
