The devil
Does the devil really exist.
I'm wondering as I sit here am one of the few who he has kissed.
I never believed in good and evil.
But maybe it's evident the way I'm feeling.
They say the devil was a falling angel.
But that's hard to think when you are so mental.
The devil works in a mysterious way.
He's working his magic within me day by day.
I choose to try not hurt my loved ones who hold me so dear.
But by my actions I've really come to fear.
That I was meant to forever wonder alone.
The devil's representative on earth I would have never known.
