I Want the Love of a Priest

I Want the Love of a Priest

A Poem by Askew

When a man of faith falls in love with a woman it is a catastrophic event
His beliefs are shattered and his God abandons him
What is God compared to the love of a woman anyway?
A man of faith forsakes his vows when he discovers a woman's love 
He begs his God to take away the ache of love
And is left kneeling and ignored
In desperation the man of faith crawls to his love and prays at her feet
Disowned by his God he must find something new to worship
