The Devil's Out Tonight

The Devil’s Out Tonight

 

You’d better watch out little girl,

the Devil knows your name.

He’s out tonight to cast his spell

and trick you with his game.

 

Sociopathic, psychosomatic, heartless to the core,

He’s a smooth talker; liquid charm in his voice.

A real good-looker, dressed to impress,

with lifelong skills to lessen your choice.

 

You’ll fall for it, call for it and

let him take you all the way there.

He’ll steal from you, and deal with you.

Before you know it , he’ll take you to his lair.

 

He’ll trap you in with his hell-bent smile!

Lock you into his gaze.

You won’t even know that he doesn’t care

by then your every thought is crazed.

 

He’ll suck out your soul and twist your mind

‘till he owns every part of your life.

Beware little girl there’s a devil out there

seeking to make you his wife.

 

Under his spell you’ll think, “This is love”

but he’ll drop you when his game is bored.

You’ll beg, you’ll plead, you’ll practice to contrive

then leave you behind, a woman scorn.

 

You’ll break in two, you’ll fall on your knees

but he’ll be gone in a breath.

Your heart stuck in your throat

Never to beating again; You’ll constantly wish for death

 

That’s what he wants: your death and your life

He’ll turn you into a ghost

He’ll pick at your skin ‘till you rot on your bones

all the while pretend he is a gracious host.

 

Beware little girl, I warn you now

the Devil’s out tonight calling your name

Don’t go to him, Don’t look his way,

or He’ll  trick you with his sadistic game.

Wicked little poem. I've heard the story of how girls fall for the wrong guy but this one really got taken. All the right expressions and nice rhymes. Rhythm was a little off for me in spots but who cares, I like it as a storyline which you both told very well. I like it and I'll give it 100.

Hello Lovely Lady Poetess

The flow is excellent, and I do enjoy the use of Devil for A man. Just kidding. This was written excellently, and carried me through the whole piece. I do agree with Coyote, as it does have a musical flow. All around excellent work.

Regards,

Matthew

In the words of Tweety, "Dat bad ol puddy tat!" lol This seems to demonize men as sexual predators but most of the sexual predators and manipulators I've known have been of the female gender. So look out little boys too! lol

excellent writing, so true, so so true. The prob is that even if we're warned some of ourselfs are sickly attracted... it's not so easy :o) But again, very good poem and totally agree with it. It's that.

Portions of your work feel metaphoric, the strangers who might prey on young victims, though others dip your pen into the darkness of the Devil's own.. Powerfully voiced and stunning to read, you create a canvass that haunts the mind!

Ahhh, lets resurrect an old topic and see if any one else reads along!

[Star Wolf]

What a perfect description of how abusers suck in their victims then eat them up alive. I think this would make a wonderful song. I think your did an awesome job on this, very impressive!

[Coyote Poetry]

Remind me of a country song. Many devils in this world. I like the movement and the story. When we roam the streets. Always the chance to be content or find some good old fashion misery. A outstanding poem. The flow and the story was very good. Thank you
