Any Devil Will Due

When loneliness settled in my bones
Bound by chains formed by tears that turned to stone
Here comes a familiar face
But he's no hero or saving grace
He is charming and dresses to kill
He is proof the devil is real
He knows what my defense are down
He hears my screams, although I make no sound
More times than not I shut down his show
But this time my lonely won't let him go
In deafening silence I long for any song
The need to feel anything I play along
My grief hangs my heart on every lie
Desperation makes me ok with the evil in his eyes
In the brightest pitch black I will play the fool
It's times like these that any devil will be

When one rides a bus, it is to get from A to B, not to buy the bus! Enjoyed! Aloha!

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
