Here Lies the Old Olivia

You don’t know what’s good for me.
Yes, I’m looking at you, Flesh.

You say that because desire is knocking, I should just open the door.
You whisper, “After all… doesn’t freedom mean no more closed doors and locked windows?”

You would advise that I sit idle while my home is robbed… even that I should personally hand over my treasure, fully knowing that tomorrow I would see you publicly trample it underfoot in the dusty street.

No, you don’t know what’s good for me. You are lawless; knowledgeable only in the ways of deception and destruction.

It’s true what they say: dead men tell no tales.
