Devil

The devil can't reach me.

So he sent an angel.

One who is pure.

One who is benign.

I was prepared for a battle.

For a sea of fire.

But I wasn't ready for love.

That makes me lower my guard.

 

I built my wall too thick, too high.

Not a single siege can pass through.

Yet her gentle touch and her warm light,

Make the wall crumble into sand.

Oh, love, it makes me lax and weak.

Like a child in her mother's arms, asleep.

It's easy to fight what you've learned to hate.

But this tender love makes me blind.

 

The devil deceived me.

As I started to bleed.

The gentle one turns grim.

Flames burst out as she clung to me.

It's too late now, for I am ruined.

And as I slowly turned into ashes,

The devil stares with a wicked grin.

As the war is over, the victor is him.
