Misery is what life deems his name,
Such a fate must become some man’s role,
To wear such a stained title with fame
And to reap anguish in that black hole.
He wears despair and sorrow like the silken cloak
And gazes upon crimson pain with raven eyes.
His voice speaks softly and insinuates in a deceptive croak;
From inky darkness and mystery will he always rise.
But every existence must surely have a heart?
To ease burdens and trials of Punishment’s own soul
Such a vital organ must exist in some sort of part.
It survives to fill in and keep his spirit whole.
Though Wretchedness’ heart may be bleached to bone white,
Infinite color is revealed when held up to the light.


The author's comments:
I've always had a large amount of compassion, and wording the most complex subject of my empathy was very difficult. Most people think of Satan as heartless and the definition of evil, but I've always thought of him as having emotion like we do. We were originally created by the same God, so why wouldn't the devil have feelings like we do? When he is portrayed as just another person, it's far easier to understand his pain.
