A Demon's Humanity
The endless circle I broke
Was but a link in a chain,
A small orbit amongst a galaxy
To love and lose, to build and crumble,
This indefinitely repeating cycle,
A fitting fate for one such as I
This hope and glimmer that fills me,
Its strength cannot be denied,
Yet it exists only to torture me
Even so, I refuse to prevent it!
For without this pain, without this torture,
I would forget my humanity once more
My existence, identity, my very sanity:
All dependent on my love for another,
To such an extent that without love, I am nothing
I know not if I have the power to change,
For it it irrelevant; for whether I’m an innocent human,
Or a vile demon, I am who I am – and I love myself unconditionally.
