Cheating on her...



I have a demon-parasite
who keeps me from my love;
I'm going to kill it (down, in the night),
then claw my way above.

It thinks it wants experience,
but really it wants to know
how deeply deep, and darkly dark,
this lonely mind can go.

Once, my heart found a second pulse
to build a stronghold with,
but couldn't pry its hearthstones
from a sensory abyss …

So yes, "chase a demon, climb
a cliff, rebuild my heaven" is daft.
But how did Sadness marry Joy?
Rolled down her cheeks and laughed.
