In Hell You Reside

9/18/21


In Hell you reside,
no fault but mine —

Every time you cried
it echoed in my heart
and gave out a yell —
I chose not to hear.

You dug my grave
And I pushed you into it.

The blood of my veins
flows into fountains
found near the Earth’s core
where I picked you out
from Hell
you shout,
“I can’t do
what you can.
Not for me-
no, not in
my lifespan.”

So trail off.
Demise.
Cause me —
A spy.
