Yes, I stuffed him quickly within the space

He was branded, they wouldn't let him go

Whisper, It's name is haunting shame

What he well knows as constant echo

He accepted, then tried to rid what lingered

His life is not his own, who is he to speak?

Unclean hands, not to lift a pointed finger

So present the noose, let me dry his cheek

Never as thirsty, never quite so barren

Disgusted, he nearly climbed in; Although warned.

Although quite aware he'd be cursed to forever listen

In the box he was on his knees begging for

Who raised you to be engulfed like now?

Slamming down on fours for other than repenting

Just as the flavor, shivers, smells, sounds

Even here in safest box, the guilt will never leave me.
