Scream for me
As I work your flesh
Doggedly
Challenging
The brands
That were burnt in
Your young skin
Reshaping
The essence
That once suffered
Such pestilence
In the face of
Other people’s opulence

Though you beg and plead
On bended knees
Seeking to stay
In such deep shadows
I will pull you out
From the wreckage
Offer you Eve’s apple
Give you knowledge
And wisdom
Give you a brand new kingdom
And though others name me devil
You will come to call me
Your guardian angel
