The Devil's Company

The taste of life brings me to my knees The blood once thawed begins to freeze And I lay my head in the hands of the devil As I touch the sentiments on a different level Longing to breathe without strain Laying numb I compose this pain Staring into the most deceptive eyes Its my life I killed when I believed your disguise You slapped my face with reasons of mine Chose the tears and drew another line Now color them red and paint my face gray If I live we'll dispute my decisions another day So I hold out my hands while my soul glows within You laugh as black magic drains down my skin Cremate my laughter and sew my lips shut Pictures I saved burn the person you cut Gather those ashes and dig a whole deep Chain them in paper Im yours to keep Wave at my name. its folded and aging Through my lifes stairway Im solemnly paging Crawling with strings sewn into my wrists You move my arm with a twitch of your fists

excellent write, imagery in the company of the devil, a hard thing to get right, done with skill here though.
