The Devil & I

by Amy   Dec 4, 2004


I walked through the park
One dark dreary night
Along the dirt path
Beneath the street lights

The trees so dead
Swayed with the wind
Extending their branches
As I heard a ghostly voice sing

The voice floated through the air
Came at me from all sides
Thats when we had our first meeting
The devil and I

He wore a blood red coat
An evil glint in his eye
A sneer lingering on his lips
Sharp horns so high

He made me an offer
Which I couldn't refuse
And in return
My soul he would use

As we walked through the park
I told him of my plan
Evil & Innocence
Hand in hand

In one quick motion
We appeared at my house
Crept through the halls
As quiet as a mouse

The devil grinned
As I pointed him out
No trace of regret
Not one ounce of doubt

With one blink of an eye
The room caught ablaze
And I watched the man I hate
Life drift away in a daze

I stared entranced
As I watched his skin burn
Consumed by the flames
For his death I yearned

A smile flickered across my face
As my father screamed in pain
Crying out for help
But doing so in vain

It was his turn to feel pain
After all these years
Of abusing me in every way
After all of my wasted tears

After all of those times
He corrupted my body & soul
Touched me in sinful ways
Now I finally felt whole

I turned to the devil
Now my only friend
He told me it was my turn
To reach my end

I gave him my soul
I did it with glee
Knowing in death
I could finally be free

Knowing the man i despised
Had suffered torment & despair
Everything seemed right
Everything seemed fair

If I could turn back time
I would still make the same deal
I enjoyed every minute
Watching my fathers skin crack & peel

So now I reside in my home
A lake of tears and fire
All because of a deal I made
To quench revenges desire

Im no longer of the living
I do not feel pain or cry
Im doomed for eternity
Just the devil & I
