The Love of a Silvered Tongued Devil

You lie to me and yet I love your words
As if the truth has no place in this world,
And all the while, I worship every breath
As a divine experience, touching,
Yet bittersweet because I know that I
Will soon be damned into the fires of hell.
The hell that tortures me is just knowing
The lies you speak to me, I'll hear no more
And I will never see your face again.
Is this a punishment sent from our God
For putting your words in front of his own?
Is the fact that you will see me no more
A sign you were my idol, a false god
I worshipped, testing my faith and my heart?
I know the truth that rests within my heart,
And the truth is he is a jealous god.
I don't care if you have a silver tongue.
I don't care how many times you hurt me
As long as I can look into your eyes
And lose myself within the ecstasy
Of only knowing you are near. Tell me-
Tell me how many crimes must I commit
Till I can hold you in my arms once more.
Must I be the new Satan and fall down
From all I've known to appease you, my dear;
Then it must be, because I would suffer
Hell ten thousand times before I know
The agony of never seeing you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Originally entitled "Luciferian Love," but the poem is about loving someone who lies to you, but you don't care, you love them anyway. I didn't want any confusion on the subject matter.

I have read this poem over and over for a while now, because I could never find the words to express how amazing and deep and yet so powerful this poem is. It hits me deep.

Love? Or boundless infatuation? Whatever, this is I think, one of your better works.

Might wanna check what is worth it to you...!

[michaela]

Wow! This is so dark yet encapsulating of a kind of obsessive love that seems extremely alluring. Amazing!

[RedInk524]

Love and obsession, opposite sides of the same coin.... And in this case the side of obsession carried most the weight.

[Fairytale]

I get a sense of the love struck feeling of not caring about being lied to.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Drastic measures, a clear lined offulence of worded interpretaiton, well done, good read.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Excellent. I would also have to say it could possibly be about worshiping someone to the point of forgetting who your true higher power is. I love deeply and when one does sometimes they find themselves in this trouble. Well written.

This is beautifully told love..sometimes we do the strangest things..even if someone is lying or not telling it straight...we fall each time we believe them, love is an odd thing! Great piece xoxo
