going to lie with the devil (Free verse) by crin
i feel so unmotivated
i feel like everything has slipped out from under me
i concede defeat
i can feel the devil blowing his disease into my ear
i feel so sick
i feel like this bed could be my grave
and i could feel comfortable in it
so content
happy to forget all this world has ever offered me
i feel so weak
like a prisoner who has finally been broken
given in to the death sentence
ready to fade away without any protest
i was so selfish but now there's nothing left
because in the process of wanting
i gave so much of myself away
i was so naive
thinking that the daggers of friends and foes
and girls whom i thought were something more
could never pierce my skin
they were and still are sharp and waiting
now i've learned my lesson
but i always betray myself by seeking comfort
with someone somewhere else
i feel so tainted
like my touch breaks down lives and dreams alike
i feel like a destroyer of worlds
when i only wanted to be a prince
but now i've just left fingerprints
at the scenes of my crimes
