YOUR DEVIL

I AM UNCLEAN BUT WHITE
I SWIM IN YOUR BLOOD TONIGHT
GIVE IN TO ME 'CAUSE I...

I AM YOUR DEVIL!

I RUN YOUNG STREETS WITH MIGHT
STEAL HEARTS AND HUMAN LIFE
INJECTED DEEP IN YOUR MIND
GIVE IN TO ME 'CAUSE I...

I AM THE DEVIL!

I'M SELFISH AND I DON'T MIND
DESTROYING BEAUTY AND PERFECT SIGHT
I MAKE YOU UGLY BY MAKING YOU BLIND
GIVE IN TO ME 'CAUSE I...

I AM YOUR DEVIL!

I AM ADDICTING AND NOT NICE
I CAUSE HEARTBREAKS AND DEADLY FIGHTS
AND DEATH IS HUNGRY FOR LIFE
SO GO A HEAD INJECT ME
YOUR BLOOD TASTES SO NICE
GET TO YOUR HIGHEST FLIGHT
I'LL SPREAD THROUGH YOUR BODY WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT
AND FEED STARVING DEATH WITH YOUR LIFE
NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE
SAY... GOODBYE.

Dope!! (No pun intended)
Fav line: "I MAKE YOU UGLY BY MAKING YOU BLIND "...the prettiest people do the ugliest things (shouts to 'Ye)..to me, ugly (in a psychological sense) can be described as those who have closed minds/hearts to new things (i.e., blind)
Completely agree with your author's note by the way..I think sometimes people try to figure out what the author meant rather than finding his or her own meaning

the contrast of all our goodness is the tension rising from not giving in to selfishness and the breaking of the chain we can hold part of...thought provoking; thank you for sharing.

[Dahlia Phoenix]

Evoking and horrifying in so many ways. Amusing for you show how a true devil would present themselves without thinking twice about what they do. Lovely work!

[unknown]

I thought this what quite interesting and believe this is truly what the devil does, but i don't think every bad influence is of him. However, if we allow a gateway to him, then he is able to enter our soul.

[RISHABH ARORA]

so true !!! i believe everything has both truths of life.. the good and the bad !!! great write :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I too believe most poetry is subjective to interpretation. That means reading between the lines... now on the surface this seems to be about drugs but when I look deeper I see as how when you let hatred into your heart it takes over your soul.

[Pratik]

Good one... this poem can be a great way of teaching the ill-effects of drugs... it is quite imaginative I must say :)

[MmeCorpse]

I think this could actually be a good song with a very deep meaning behind it that can change depending on the person listening to it. Everyone has their own "devil" in their lives. Good work. :)

[Audrey Howitt]

For me, this is a scary read--full of the interplay between addiction and death. Well penned portrait--

[Eric Cox]

Cool horror write, chilling ending, nicely done.
