The Game

Many say the devil is fierce

Fear and terror is her identity 

Seeking to destroy all divinity 

This might be true so I'll tell you my story

The devil seeks more than the destruction of divinity

The face of evil was placed before my eyes

In my best friend was where the devil lies 

Earning my trust and love through the years

Sinking into temptation for her I shed tears

I thought the game was over when hers face was revealed

But my mind couldn't conceive being deceived 

So I missed it, I couldn't figure out it was her

The devil continued to surround me with sin

She took the shape of my heart and played with my mind 

Made me love everything about her from the very start

She peered into my mind and found a taste for what I like

Duplicated it and gift wrapped it with lies 

She played my emotions like a harp 

Sinking slowly her melody of hatred into my soul

Soon the devil was closer to accomplishing her goal

She made me see that love was a lie

The devil made me contemplate taking my life

To see me at my very end, the lowest of lows

Made the devils ego grow some more

Now she keeps reminding me that she's with another guy

Who used to be a close friend of mine

It's just the devils way of manipulating lives

It's like a game of chess 

between the Devil and I

All I can say is I am surprised I haven't read this before, but knowing you also personally as a friend and a little about you... this just blew me away.

Long time friend, hows it going? I know you know my story and yes this piece echoes it but coming back and reading it, boy it's written so badly I need to go and edit this completely. Thanks for the kind review.
