Methistopheles

Body and soul are the devil's take has he come to seal my fate? From needles eye through poisoned veins awakening my lifeless brain. Fire and lightning pierce the skin with it's flash the storm begins. Tempest's whir I cannot quiet inside me my emotions riot, help me God I cannot fight it. I pulled the iron from my arms and stood with God to face my bete noire. "I will not give you my last breath" as I turned and walked away from meth.

You Were All

I loved you once. A love so fervent you were all I wanted. You were all I could think about. I gave myself to you and believed in you. I defended you, begged for you, and lied just to have you. I could not be without you and  when I was, I let the . know. You asked for my soul, but are incapable of reciprocation. I prayed to never see you again, yet believed your lie and  welcomed your return. I embraced you into these broken arms. I've given you all I had; my pride, my home, my faith, my God. You are all I NEVER needed... Hate, destruction, and evil are you. So selfish you begin and end with me and mine. You are MEthamphetaMINE.
