Just a question

Did you think that salvation
would be given in the form
of a band of gold?
That your demons
would be held at bay,
by a covenant.
Healing was never offered,
absolution not promised.
Those gifts were never mine to give.

But, failure of truth comes with a price.
Though never a monetary thing,
the cost will be quite high.
No longer a resting place of the soul,
or love unconditional given.
Where would you like me to send this bill?
