(song ; devil’s backbone)

You prayed, day and night — worshipping and on your knees but not for your sake, rather for his.

He was a sinner — a man who carried a cross on his back, and yet with that same cross he had taken the lives of many who came before him. Still, you loved him too much to let the lord take him from you. You would do anything for him; even endure the lord’s punishment for him.

“Praying again?” His footsteps echoed as he sat on one of the chairs, “dear, you’re relentless.”
