The devil

by zadyrose   Apr 22, 2005


It might have broken my mind,
if I had known I would be traveling this way again,
As I walk through the mucky water,
in search of something I don’t know,
I can still see his face plain as day,
the mans hollow eyes showing his soul on fire,
his jagged teeth reminding me of a wolf on the prowl,
I can still feel him chasing me every where I go,
his hollow voice calling for me,
you cant escape me I will get you,
As I turn back to look I can see him there plain as day,
the fires of hell burning in his open mouth,
I stand there waiting just waiting for him to reach out,
but I know he is not really there,
This is just like all the other times,
I see him he is haunting me,
never to let me rest,
until he gets his fill,
I reach out in hope,
that maybe it is really him,
the one who took my family so long ago,
this is what I came for,
to exact my revenge,
or maybe just too finally be with them,
Either way it don't matter,
cause just like all the other times,
it is just a figment,
a nightmare born of day,
a dream while awake,
Even though he is no where to be seen,
I know he is somewhere near,
waiting for his supper,
the one that got away,
and if I search hard enough there he will be,
Searching waiting mouth watering,
he knows I am here,
and it will not be to long before I find him,
and his hunger finally will be filled, hunger that’s been haunting him since so very long ago,
a hunger that only I can fulfill,
And now as I come back to reality,
I see the clear sparkling water,
a place I remember so well,
I get a sudden since of calm,
a feeling I fear,
the calm before the storm,
I can feel him near,
sneaking his way to me,
I feel the heat radiating from him,
and smell the cooking flesh, Suddenly behind me I hear the laughter,
so near as to send chills down my spine,
I turn to see his smile,
I have been waiting for you,
I knew you would be back,
I knew id get my super after all,
I get the sudden felling to run,
get out of here as fast as I can,
but I cant I got to do this for them and for me,
I have got to be strong,
I have to make it through,
then my soul can finally rest in peace,
I can finally let go,
He is staring at me now,
with that hungry look,
I know he can smell my fear,
he is feeding on it savoring it,
before he goes in for the kill,
I see him now,
he launches at me,
flames shooting from his mouth,
I dodge him pull out my dagger,
and lodge it into his heart,
Flames shoot out encompassing the dagger,
then him I can smell him burning,
as I watch him become engulfed in flames,
I stand there watching,
until I am sure he is gone,
never to ruin another life again,
And now I write this for future generations,
on this last night,
I wanted to warn,
don’t go alone in the woods,
for you never know what you’ll find.

(sorry its so long but i hope you enjoyed it)
