Born of the needle that joined your taste to my name
Is your pain the only weight you'd have me bear?
Come, deface your progeny
Mind and heart, sword and sheath
In the narrows of my bones, where courage sleeps
I can't save us from the daeva inside you
Offer myself in place of what you'd surely have me do
Never a savior, but it's the standard I will bear
To tempt a liar’s favor
Dispute not their claims of an “afterlife”
Where only the willing
Speak of a future undermined by mortal illusion
I face my grave damning the ease of surrender
Verisimilar defeat
Ever the Haunted One
Twisted in your corpse
Wearing the skin like a cancer
Abyssal arbiter to all I’ve lost
“The earth will shake!!”
Demoness, my demoness
Healer - stolen in your form
At most... feel the air gone wrong
Carried it with you, buried in the salt that knits your wounds
When reality unravels
You’d crawl from this
