faustian bargain
Kiss me under absent gods / and learn
what parts of our souls we sold / and what
we sold them for. / I really do think I’m
dying, / for what, I don’t know. / Is it for
you? / you, you, you. / Because I used my
bargain with Mephistopheles / on your
foul-mouthed being. / My dear, / experience
the psychomachia tenfold, / get on your knees
and pray, / beg on the bathroom tile. /
More, more, more, more. / Learn to live /
and learn to die. / I don’t need my soul /
for I am a god like thing. / But there’s nothing
holy left here. /
