![]() Devil's MuseA Poem by Shihmai Crestwood![]() A young woman can't help falling in love with a man who doesn't want her.![]() Devil’s
Muse I hate the way he makes me feel when he looks at me Drawing me in and clouding my mind to where I can’t
see The piercing gray of his iris’ watching my unshapely
form Knowing if I give in I’m doing more harm Each day I fall victim to the beautiful tint of the
devil’s stare Wrapping myself in lust, giving him my all, making
myself bare Throwing away my dignity and my morals just to get a
taste I run to his side without him having to give chase Why can’t I stop when I know I’m no more than used
goods Giving him satisfaction as he regales me with
falsehoods I sit and watch just as lonely as before Watch him walk away and shut the door He hungers for the pleasure but detests the vessel But each time I return, I look into his eyes and settle Each time he promises will be different And each time I believe him brushing off my ignorance I hate who I am and who I’ve become I’ve surrendered to the devil and he has me under his
thumb.
