Devoted Muse

Unjustified addiction to the indeterminate pain

Brought on by nothing and everything

And who are you but a passing thought?

They can’t see your unnecessary suffering

But somewhere deep inside you don’t care

I am the scar and I know you like my company

Look at what I want to give you child;

Hold this pencil tightly and I will show you

Feel tears on your face? Pain inside your head?

These are gifts for you, empty child

Are you not pleased with what you have become?

Oh I am so good to you my lovely one

I never leave your side for too long

Should any doubt fill that decaying mind

I am right there with you to help it along

And so many things I let you see!

Privileged torment chosen just for you

Decompose into the very earth itself

And you will become everything once again

Right now, Nothing is too good for you

They can’t see my necessary presence

Somewhere deep inside, where you are numb

I am here for you child; you enjoy my company

Through your hands I will show my devotion

Inside your mind I am nothing and everything

Festering within, I will keep you alive...
