Lucifer's Cage


I watched you in the cage, partly bloody Circling the bars in a hellish rage. Age was hard on your heart. Two chosen others Took his offer. Who I desire is a man’s older brother Lying in my arms. Holy water – saving Humans. Large bottles around chipped tables. Many times he prayed in the car, body crumbled, Ignoring the growing lies. Last year he left unwillingly over the angel proof cage & your soulless, dark eyes Hated the sight of a man, living. I see a boy who kills saving lives.
