Now the altar is cold. The congregation is gone. And I'm on my knees for a different kind of worship. Not for God. Not for salvation.
They don't teach you in seminary what to do when the prayer stops working. When the scripture feels like sandpaper against a wound that won't close. You spend years begging God for a sign, for silence, for anything ... and then one day, a woman walks into the nave at midnight, reeking of gin and bad decisions, and she doesn't ask for forgiveness. chloe temple - corrupted priest
For her. The beautiful, terrible sin I will never confess. Now the altar is cold
I told her the body was a temple. She laughed. A low, broken sound that shattered the last stained-glass window in my soul. "Temples burn," she whispered. "Priests fall." Not for God
Her name is Chloe. And she didn't corrupt me. She just showed me the lock I'd been carrying the key to my whole life.
She asks if you've ever been truly touched.
Hail Mary, full of grace... help me forget her face. #ChloeTemple #CorruptedPriest #DarkRomance #FallenFaith #AntiHero #ForbiddenDesire
