Darkness

''As you sit and wonder, 
your soul torn ashunder, 
the daemon appears, 
offering immortallity, 
you want it to leave 
you be, 
but what a promising gift 
you see, 
so you take it, 
full heartedly you 
take it, 
and become a daemon too, 
you blink and ask how this 
could be true, 
so now your the devil's slave, 
sitting in the darkness of 
your cave, 
faithfully like a dog, 
you do his biding, 
but then you realize, 
it's your own throat that your 
slitting, 
you thought it was a gift, 
but far from it, 
the Devil has your soul now, 
don't you feel the lucky one''

Praise God there is always hope. The way back after one turns around or leaves the satan's hold is a difficult one but not impossible. Interesting topic that you have written about here today. Keep the creative pen flowing. Welcome to soup. Sara
