A Deal Undone

If she must fade from you

Then give the Devil what is due

The bridges burned, the gates unscrewed

Have left you gaping, griping

 

For you saw Heaven from a view

Then were struck blind as if on cue

As it was ripped away, in truth

It was never truly yours

 

Your state of mind was so askew

That you asked Satan to carry you

To give you favor, did you assume

That it would turn out well?

 

I see.

 

Hellfire stuck like glue...

 

Your skies grey, so you paint them blue

 

But the Devil is quick to do and undo

 

And now she’s gone... gone...

 

Gone.
