Devil's Girl
February 18, 2013
I wake but I do not sleep
(I am a ghost)
In the childless cries of the morning
He wakes with me
(the devil)
Don’t be scared, dear
He snickers
And pale as moonlight
Shines upon my toes
He cackles and says
I’ve got your heart
And it’s mine
But I say you’re wrong
His eyes grow wide and lower,
In anticipation, waiting for the foolish to go on
And I tell him
You have my soul, but my heart
Is mine to keep
And he droops, lets go of me
And I scream
Because everything was just a dream
And I’m just a girl with no devil by my side,
Waiting for eternity
