My little devil He made me scream He made me cry He made me want to **** him He made me want to love him He was nothing and everything in an instant When we were close We came up with nicknames to tease each other with “Alright, Bookworm,” He use to say “Fair deal Devil” I would spout off I never viewed him as the devil Just my personal devil But not the one to cause harm The one who would protect me The long nights we stayed up to talk The sweet moments we share They made my pulse race And cause me to wish they never existed My own devil My protector But mine For a moment in time, he was mine And I was his And everything was perfect But the moment shattered And my devil turned on me I wasn’t scarred I was calm As my devil looked at me with His bloodthirsty eyes I stayed silent as he roared in my face But I just smiled Through the tears that formed And my heartbreaking And I reached out one last time And patted my devil on the head He shrunk back to the man I saw And he became something more special That no one can match He was once my devil that I kept around And now he is my little devil Who reminds me of good times And it still makes me cry at night Or with the tune of a box My own little devil that haunts my dreams And steals my sleep It makes my mind wander And think “What if” No one sees him But I know he is there My little devil Who will never leave my heart
