The Devil & Me (Free verse) by Artemis745
I watched as it crumbled
Polished diamonds to dust.
I watched as it turned
Solid gold into rust.
I watched as it closed
The vacant eyes of a child.
While people cried,
I watched as it smiled.
I watched as it turned
Ice into flame.
I watched as it left
While I hid in shame.
It came to take me
In the night.
But though I hid
I wouldn't fight.
He tried to take me;
He pulled me under.
It used it's might
Like a God of thunder.
My strength was gone.
So the devil, he won.
But my life had not ended,
It had just begun.
The devil and I;
We fought once more,
And ten years later,
I won the war.
Although right now,
I'm dead you see,
But the story lives on
About the devil and me.
