The Devils Whispers

the devil came to me last night and he whispered in my ear 
he told me to kill myself and up my spine shot shivers of fear 

i thought it was only a dream but i realized i was wide awake 
and in my heart if i did his bidding i know my soul he would take 

then again one morning when i opened up my eyes i heard him try to speak 
he may have twisted up my tongue, but as i got stronger each day he got weak 

he only comes to me when i'm sad, angry, lonely or depressed 
but then again of course the devils comes for only God's very best!!!
