LONG WAY DOWN -Original poem about a little runaway boy who runs into the devil

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

You curious boy,
you should have not walked outside
at this late hour of the darkest night.

You curious boy,
you should have not run away,
it could have saved you another day.

You curios boy,
what did you think you would do
when lights are down,
with no one around,
no one to save you...

You curious boy,
you should have not scratched
to catch a glimpse of what hides
under the bloody cloth covering your wounds...

You curious boy,
you should have not peaked
on a place like this,
there is nothing here
would need or miss.

You curious boy,
your eyes should have not met the pain...
It's a long way down!

You curious boy,
this path was not meant to be yours,
God has mistaken it-
your heart is not able to go through all this!

You curious boy,
I had nothing on my paper for your little soul,
but since you're here, I could take away the pain;
beyond this door there's no flesh, soul or self-control.
