Devil Box

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished 4 months ago • 1 min read

Put your hand in the box

Embrace the pain

Embrace the locks

Pick the fruits of your desires

Nothing but thieves and liars 

Cutting through the callus 

Unwinding the lateralus 

A bleeding moon will never heal the wound 

Bursting from the tomb

No one understood the danger 

Of the wiedergänger

Reanimated vestments of the stola 

Birthing the ghola 

Told to live with no soul 

Give penance for their grace

You exist to serve

For it is what you deserve

Desire is a liar

The thief of happiness 

Set yourself on fire
