Strolled with the devil to the edge of the world
Offered him my soul to become his girl
Satisfaction crossed his face as he held out his hand
In an instant I was totally consumed by this man
We embraced on the cliff before I fell
To a path that led me straight through hell
The pain I needed to be set free
When the demons inside took over me
Playing a game I couldn't win
His magic potion lured me in
A jab in the arm, the fire inside
I nodded when he asked me along for the ride
The memories in motion all around me
I had to go blind before I could see
Transformed from human to a creature of night
Mingling somewhere between death and life
I let go of myself when I gave into him
Assuming he would make me hole again
Now I prowl the streets hoping to find
The one thing I need to ease my mind
With the pain comes the pleasure I desperatly seek
Pretending to be strong, but knowing I am weak
Praying in vain to attain one goal
That before its too late, the Devil wwill return my soul

welcome to the pip forums =). this is good stuff. very sad and of coarse, dark. I hope that if this poem applies to you, that God will yank your soul away from that snake and give it back to you in better shape than it was before.   don't stop searching for true peace, it will find you if you look hard enough.
