“I made you into my private Christ, supplicated with my own dark devotions. Nothing existed beyond the range of your exacting gaze, not even me. I was simply a non-entity when you weren't looking at me, an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the sweet water of your attention.

God, forgive me.
Christ, forgive me.”
― S.T. Gibson, A Dowry of Blood
