Once I stood in my human binds
Watched over by Artemis.
Never cleaner or purer
In the eyes of the gods.
I strode through life like a flame
Endless icon of desire
Until my fire was stolen
And I abandoned by my watcher
Put upon by some evil
Who had no right to steal upon
That, which to him
Did not belong.
I had smelt his demonic stench
Weighing heavy on my lungs
His carcass lay heavy as he
Painted me black
Abandoned by Artemis
My retribution must be attained alone
Though not in this life
Confined by my human bonds.
