Devil in a blue dress

 

Met a demon in a pale blue dress,

Saw the devil with an angels face,

She had the greenest of the evil eyes,

Just one look, and I was hypnotized.

She stole my soul as she told me lies,

She called it love, yes she called it love.

 

She said she’d be the best friend, that I ever had,

She’s not all good, cause she’s really bad,

She’d stick with me through thick and thin,

So, let us let the game begin,

The game of love, yes the game of love.

 

 

In a winter’s day she said she’s gone,

She’s got a life to live she can’t hang around.

I said “what about love?”

She said “what about, love?”

 

I said, “Love is rare, rare is gold, gold is greed,

Greed is cold, cold am I as you walk out the door”?

“Love is pain, pain is real, real is lust, lust is sin,

Sin is pleasure; pleasure’s true, true is the love that I have for you”.

 

She laughed and said, “There is no love”

To be cast aside like a used tissue
is hurtful to your manly pride
You fooled yourself her love was true
a lasting love which would abide.
Par for the course I am afraid
The honey trap we fall into.
Infatuated by some maid who
then decides we will not do.
She's had her fun its time to leave
Which she can do without regret.
and we are left alone to grieve.
A lesson which we wont forget.
although in time we'll try again
when passing time deadens the pain

I can hear it. Out loud as I read. Your voice is strong and true.

Ouch ouch and ouch. So very painful. You covered so many emotions and feelings and very well too !
Makes us wonder what Love is really all about !! Lust or Love or whatever !! I'm loving your work.
Thanks for sharing
