the choice he made | Shadow Work Poetry

Past the noise

Under the void

I live in the ocean

I am underground

Forgive and let live

Until the bomb bell sounds

Become something different

Scattered around

I am the choice he made

When he took her as his own

I am the sin she bore

A consequence of insecurity

I am the devil

And I am the god

Pray to me and maybe

I'll let you die

Forgive and let live

Until my heartbeat slows

Become a new sin

Something another man chose

Just past that corridor

To the left of the light

I locked it away

In the middle of the night

I am just a sin

A mistake; pure happenstance

How could anyone love a girl

Afflicted with such a blight?

One day you'll find the key

I am sure, I am certain

And it will burst from my mind

And I will die behind the curtain
