The Devil and I

He did not wear horns on his crown,

a tail

or wings on his back.

He walked the earth with no hair and crystal eyes.

A stone under the sun

He made me smile,

A sun-ray in the darkest of forests.

He made me cry,

A shadow in the desert.

Evil does not stab you

It kisses you between your thighs,

And leaves you wanting more

All while hating yourself,

And loving him.

This is my youth.

The age of princes and princesses

The age of rage,

Joy,

And immense, insatiable, dissatisfaction.

Once upon a time I met the devil,

And he blessed me,

With a pain, and fondness for love

For lust,

That I cannot forget no matter how much I wish I could,

And that no one can ever measure up to.
