The Devil

The Devil

A Poem by Kala Benfield
"

Evil vs. Good

"

Chasing you down again.

I fall for you.

I wither at your unworthy presence.

You don't try to save me from the wicked,

you descend the monsters that stay chained in their cages.

 

Vigorously cracking your whip.

snap. snap. snap.

You unleash the monsters.

Little devils.

You quiver with laughter.

 

Ash begins to fall like sweet sugar cotton.

Turning the ground white.

Streaking the pavement black.

snap. snap. snap.

 

Waist deep.

How many times can I pretend I enjoy when you leave?

So shattered like windows your demons fractured.

Unleashing their wrath for the little I did.

Why?

 

I'm wrapped in a riveting convention, uncontrolable power.

A surreal demention.

Willing to lose control in your mapped world.

Your world.

Slivering from room to wall.

Like a snake, who has no business to be anywhere.

Sealing the leaking light that shines through.

 

Thrown in a furrow with walls of cement.

I hunker in the chasm.

A monsters unpleasent masterpiece.

What artist would create such a piece?

Beautiful like angels.

Ugly in your presence. A Demon.

Sketched by Angels.

Created by Demons

 

They spit in the hole.

I gather the acid saliva.

Disgusted, showing no emotion.

It's so cold.

It touches human flesh and stings like the fires of Hell.

 

Drugged.

Dirty needles fluster from me, my frozen body.

While unrecognized fluids course my veins.

Taking its precious time to destroy my system.

 

What have I done to be dissected

by your paper-thin lance?

 

Every drag you take from your cigarettes.

Blowing smoke down the hole.

Your monsters dragging their weights and chains.

Circling me like buzzards with their prey.

 

I am fragile like butterfly wings.

Hoarse from my howls that no one hears.

You don't listen

Being torn down by your vicious taunts.

Have you had enough?

Of course not.

You have yet to reach my core.

 

Pain and agony seep threw the cracks in my weathered skin.

So harmful to my veins, being pumped with beaded fluids.

Do you know I hate you,

but I only show you love.

You love me.

Why do you show only hatred?

 

My antidote will only be one human being.

Stronger then the drug being coursed throughout my veins.

 

I'm sorry about all the lies,

maybe in a different light I'll show my true side.

Like vampyres when the sun shines.

 

I'm going cold,

as darkness accelerates.

Light is only in the crevices of the chasm I've been thrown in.

 

I'm growing week.

 

Crush the wicked beetle who claims he loves me.

He's in the air.

Laughing at me!

His monsters spews liquids unknown 

Withering me to my gold blossom bones.

Silent screams fill the air but not the pitless, undestined hole.

There is no echo.

 

Crush his skeletor remains!

The walking dead.

 

Set me free.

I want to be in the capture of my creator.

The one who calls me never.

Every blow,

to the eye won't hurt bad,

but to the brain,

which at the moment has swelled and decreased in size,

is pain to the limit of the imagination we humans have. 

 

I've stopped to think about the beast long ago.

I have reached my intertwined reasons to become the living.

I know all my remains of you have been put in the pit,

where I was reborn into their slave.

I am free.
