Stay

Living under her care
Can be as sweet as a pear
Sleep all day and play all night
Is one hell of a way to live your life.

Spoon fed sweet chocolate cakes
While always sipping on strawberry shakes
Movies and video games always
A blessed way to pass the day.

But why am so blessed to live this way?
Always asking and bribing me to stay
Holding me close, against her chest
Of all things it freedom, that I’m bereft

One night we gather for the feast
But in the oven was no cut of the beast
A plump little boy, gagging on fruit
All the while she’s playing on her lute

Now I realize why I have to stay
For too soon it will be my day
I’m a fattened pig ready for slaughter
To sate the hunger of the devil’s daughter
