My Lore

My first kiss tasted 

slimy and warty 

The frog wanted to turn into a prince

I thought it was kinda 

Cute 

And that maybe I could help him

It didn’t work 

But I remember trying 

//

My first love 

Was a goddess of music

Her father 

Thought of me as less than dirt 

A mortal 

I’d become nothing more then rotting flesh 

How could I match her divinity

When I was destined for the underworld?

//

My first time– 

Didn’t happen.

//

I made a bargain with Death. 

I begged for an ending

She asked for my soul 

To let her keep it 

To let her love that it was here but hers

I asked to go back in time 

Bring back the dead 

And kill him again 

//

Her price 

Is still being paid

//

Death comes back to visit every funeral I’m forced to make 

She watches me live my life digging graves

//

She kisses my temple, so lovingly, so endearingly

She whispers in a voice of unholy,

Ironic lust

My darling, you’re free 

Isn’t this what you wanted?
