40 Days

My heart is heavy today It has nothing to do with the first day Her smile like my effort, Impressive Her hair dyed and buried the queens how majestic Her beauty so be witching Who knew the devil as an angel? Trust me feels like good luck for more than a moment But the torture in a second More than the thirst of 40 days My heart is heavy today It has nothing to do with valentine the day That moment like the all Seeing Eye Iconic The roses, the champagne and cake all eyegasmic My happiness true like this words Who knew the devil as an angel? I’m sure God, Jesus and (because I am tired) the rest My ignorance pierced my Armor of knowledge My funeral less painful I will be a sleep I can bear This is more than the thirst of 40 days My heart is heavy today It has nothing to do with her kind soft touch My tears like the story of my life just flowing My pain just like my nails keep growing My heart just like my will broken Who knew the devil as an angel? I must have, but the dance was so inviting The pale moonlight a scene so romantic Then to witness the murder of Joy; a pain so corrosive More than the thirst of 40 days My heart is heavy today It has everything to do with the one who left The words like cupid’s arrows piercing The memories we made like my love for you indispensable But the pain caused make me wish you drown unsavable Pretending to be fine like the sands by the sea But my wound to heal I hope for the sands of time Who knew the devil as an angel? Trust me I did It was fun while it lasted I pray to make it through my thirst of 40 days
