where does evilness reside,
in the eyes?,
what color would they be,
in the mouth?,
where lies come from,
what would the words be,
can you smell evil coming,
what does it smell like,
is it vinegar,is it wine,
is it carnage in the air,
senses do abound,
and the crimes do get around,
like an airborne disease,
or the pain that,
drives you to your knees,
begging"dont leave me,dont leave me",
but its for the best,
im worthless,
think of me only when you want a laugh,
and tie your hurt,your affliction,
to my raft of discretion,
and we'll float away,
where the world wont find us,
the sea will hide us,
trust in me,
ill make you see

Welcome! This is scary! Never thought about what evil smells like...I would think like chicken left on the counter for 4 days..there is nothing like that stink! A little note if you don't mind, I would like to suggest a little more punctuation... thanks
