The blot

Summary:

A poem about that one ink monster from Myth of the Machine

Work Text:

The curse of the almighty
Ravaged this world of all to see

Oh, how tragic it must be
To be blamed for being bloody

I have always been ink,
Far longer than you think
I was meant to cure
But he made me not pure

A soul like no other,
The love of a mother
The joy of a lover
For her, it's all over

A soul like no other,
The loyalty of a brother
A demon with no offer
For him, it's not yet over

Hunt, little cat, hunt
Find them, make them pay
Don't let them have all the fun
Of being gods for a day

Retch, little demon, retch
All the sins inside of you
Unholier than a wretch
What have you come to...

Isn't this what you came for?
You're so far from home
But my ink shall blind you both
I am the curse, I am... The blot
