The Devil

do you know what its like 

to stare the devil in the eye 

have you ever felt 

his gaze pierce your soul 

I can remember a time 

when he was not around at all 

now he sits on my shoulders

whispering things in my ear '

things that are hard for me to get over 

should I just accept him 

or could I fight him off and win 

a battle I am not yet ready for 

is it even worth the fight 

should I just give in 

spewing poisonous venom

through my veins my heart and soul 

in his hands he holds 

my blackened heart barely beating 

he stomps on the ashes of my soul 

beating me down every at every chance 

showing me my own personal hell 

at the end of the day I thought I only had me 

but it turns out he has been there the whole time 

its all it has ever been or will be 

this relationship with some one so vile 

it is only the devil and I
