Infallible Mortality

By Ms. Cady

If you could see the things I see,
And gaze upon monstrosity,
Your heart would feel the sharpest pain,
And you would never be right again,
I protect the secrets of our minds,
My job being to save mankind,
But humanity will ultimately fall,
Like the crumbling bricks of an ancient wall,
This undoing is all our own,
And we must reap the seeds we’ve sown,
Ahh, my child, please don’t fret,
Because my job isn’t finished yet.
If you could taste the things I’ve tasted,
The taut, cold skin forever wasted,
The taste eternal on your tongue,
Would frighten you, for you’re so young,
The taste of fear is most frightening,
So tangible it burns like lightening,
Etched in your mind so you won’t forget,
The memories will make you retch,
But, darling one, don’t be scared,
For I’ll make sure that you are spared,
I’ll take your hand, fingers entwined,
Because I know that you will be mine.
If you could feel the things I feel,
The horrors of sin completely real,
Many a night would be fraught with terror,
Because there is no room for error,
You’d know the tears that souls have cried,
And seen the faces of those who’ve died,
Your youthful innocence would disappear,
As the end of time approaches near,
But, dear, I hold the answers still,
I’ll be the scroll as you’re my quill.
