Devil's Regimen

Devil's Regimen

A Poem by J. Kell

The ever-present ache

Has never left

But deepened with time

Prisoner of the pain

I grab the amber antidote

And submit to a devil’s regimen

Hoping to drink forgetfulness

Into my darkened heart.

I grab the amber antidote
And submit to a devil’s regimen
Hoping to drink forgetfulness
Into my darkened heart.
