The Devil Held My Heart

by Alicia   Nov 3, 2013


Blinded by what I thought to be love,
Completely caught up in feeling,
I ignored the lies being whispered in my ear,
Believing them to be true,
Wanting them to be true,

The Devil held my heart,
Held my entire world with both hands,
With every day I unknowingly let him control me,
Wanting to please him,
Doing anything to please him,

Could this be love?
Feeling as he is slipping away,
Every day, never knowing if he's really gone,
That how he contains you,
That's how he contained me,

Tightly he grasped my heart,
While pretending disinterest,
Pushing me away, pulling me close
Only when convenient,
Only if it was convenient for him,

Could this truly be love?
Struggling to be what he expects,
Wanting to be what he wants,
Just that he would stay,
If only he stayed,

The Devil held my heart,
But now he doesn't,
I was broken by him,
But now I am made whole,
I am completely whole,

I am free to love,
No longer afraid,
He won't ever capture me again,
I am free to love,
This is love.
