The Devils Grip

by LockedInEternity   May 31, 2006


**I know this is really long, but please read it and tell me what you think:):)**

@...The devil's grip upon your arm,
He tries to take you with his charm.
He won't release 'till you agree,
No care for words, No sympathy.

Seduce your soul with all his ways,
His grip just tightens through the days.
And he won't leave 'till you give up,
And take a sip from satin's cup.

He tells you things you ought a do,
He works his magic onto you.
He wears your will down to the bone,
Until he's got you all alone.

When you think no one else can see.
His blazing eyes watch over thee.
He stands there whispering in your ear,
All of those horrid things you hear.

He holds your hand with blazing heat,
He's found himself some fresh new meat.
And though the warmth gives you a start,
A sudden chill runs through your heart.

Commands run quickly to your head.
"Just slit your wrist 'till it turns RED"
Release my colour from with in,
And cut away your precious skin.

And when you do his wrecked chore,
His grip on you just tightens more.
He claims that all of this will stop.
If you jut drink from satin's cup.

He tries to bottle up your soul,
As your heart slowly turns to coal.
And when you try to break his grip,
He ushers you to take a sip.

With ending will you try to stand,
But he stands by you hand in hand.
As he gets rid of all your hope,
He's got you hanging by a rope.

"And you can make this disappear."
He whispers as you start to tear.
Your self-destruction was his plan.
And look how smoothly it all ran.

All he had to do was speak,
And you would listen and grow weak.
Obeying all of what he said,
You let him get inside your head.

You didn't think that you were strong,
And that's when all of this went wrong.
You started this all on your own,
At first you really were alone.

To have the devil grip your arm,
You had to start out with self-harm.
So if you punished yourself less,
You wouldn't be in such a mess.

Again he offers you his cup.
He says "Come now my child, drink up"
As you sit crying in your room
You grab his cup, and all consume.

He promised all of this would stop,
But as he let you go, you drop.
The darkness gripped you as you fell,
Into a place we know as HELL.

    Wow. Just...Wow. Lol. I loved it. =) The flow was excellent, and it stayed all the way through the poem. The rhymes seemed a little easy though. I'm sure you could do better. I also liked the idea of the Devil taking your life in general. Very creative. =) 5/5 xoxo
