Revised Valentine

I still sometimes confuse them
Luther and Lucifer
As a recovering Catholic
 
The revised myths of childhood
Which still hold a certain truth
But let me let go
 
Of the great beast of the past
And take hold of what
Is left of the Christ
 
Whatever in childhood
I knew as Christ
The shepherd king
 
I imagined would have come
And saved me by now
One of his darkest sheep
