Stavrogin’s Dialog

Swing, oh Pendulum of shame, life betrayed, the soul aflame.
Was it pride or hollow spite?
What made you kiss the devil’s light?
I Fucked god and buried the sun, inhaled the void just for fun

There was only the Rope’s Embrace and its ultimate hope, no grandstand, no storming booth, just a coward’s kick and chair that sways in the darkness. Were you weeping or laughing? Who can say?

Was it her? The girl you broke.
No, just boredom’s joke.
The Blood you Spilled?
A Yawn fulfilled,

We can hear the crowd cheering your fall,
Not from hate, they are bored like all,
You thought you’d burn the world to see?
But Ashes Tastes Like apathy!

No Demons Came, no Angels wept,
It was only silence and the joke you kept,
There was no eternal punishment, you chose the rope,
There was no sin, you died with no hope
