Nihilist

you're caging yourself

enslaving us into a reality

where our wounds never heal

our souls suffocated eternally

like fireflies in a jar

constantly choking with every pulse

begging for our faded, blurred light

To be put out and swallowed with relief

I try to guide her

to sleep with me

in a fireplace

built from stardust

but she won't awaken

from her own dream

under her control

maybe that's why she's lost it

she tells me

the universe isn't meant to be free

for order keeps reality in orbit

and this child

a pure, innocent soul

will nurture the galaxies

our limits no longer viable

when in the hands of a deity

birthed from our touch

one without the need of faith

or hopeless calls for miracles

to tame the wrath of evil

for when we have the universe

living under our cold hearts

the void wrapped in our ropes

the cage, an adolescent

listening in its celestial body

hearing our dėsɨrės

with the power to fulfill them

it's not immortality through one life

she calls to me

it's to ensure there will be life when we can no longer confirm our own.

and with this statement

she loosens the stone in her glove

letting gravity drag it down

who will soon know purpose

long before all of humanity

has caught a glimpse

now is my time to strike
