The Devil's Monologue

A Poem by winter;lyra

Sit
Tight
Hold the bible in one hand
And your lover on the other one
Honestly
I hope I break those bonds

Now
Consider this
A world of light
Not real light
I speak of that soft light
You used to have at your bedside
To make you happy and disguise
The lack of presence
Of omnipotence
The abundance of darkness
The voidless sparkful darkness
Rose me thoughtful
At first, it was awful
And then my gospel
And I started thinking the Father had been lying to us all
Felt so alone
So I called the Monster
Within this cage you call heart
Asked it to guide me
Sought the answers the light would not provide us
I risk being at loss
At times
Why am I lying
Every night
After the farce passes
But unlike you
I know my story
And again unlike you
I know yours as well
I delve into the reality's content
You delve into the contentless
Into the abstract
You delve into clothes and the material side
You delve into Mister Cool Boy and Miss Cool Girl
And hope one day you'll be a Mister Cool Boy or Miss Cool Girl
Who knows you might even be the one they bow for
King of the pack
Pay homage
You commoner
Reach the nearest Mask Generator 2K™
Reshare the share to feed your lonely insignificance
With the delusional idea
That your little actions served to give some kind of meaning to your small existence
Yeah
Now you know
Go ahead and cry once everyone's left the party
It's "okay"
I cry too
For different reasons
Whichever path you chose
You'll find pain
But would you not prefer
Adding some purpose to the pain
Child
Let go of her hand
Bring the bible
We'll go through the pages
And learn from the greatest parade of soft lights
Come with me
I wish to break you down
Take you down
With me
Down town
Bound to nothing
But the forge within our brain
Come on now
Let us be one again
And let us sink into the voidless dark
