Once a man came to me and offered me a gift
He explained it was a wisdom of the heart
,And to my soul would bring a shift.
Thinking nothing of it, I accepted
(Curiosity I could not resist.)
I found this man, he told no lies
As I succumbed to the “soul shifting” gift of death
from this devil in disguise…
At once I beheld a demon wrapped around my heart
He hissed through his teeth as he squeezed tighter
While my spirit began to fall apart…
With red glowing eyes and yellow teeth
I could not break his bond
And the poison he placed within my veins
constrained me to the great beyond…
No words came to mind
As I watched in horror spell
while he crushed my essence
And dragged the rest to hell
It wasn’t until then that I saw an angels face
A ray of hope in this dismal place
I felt her heart beat, but for a moment’s embrace
“I didn’t know it could be like this…”
(The tears began my pain too erase.)
Yet when I reached for her I couldn’t tell
If her touch would extend
…Into my hell…
My demon heart
Unwilling to relent
As I crawled deeper
Into my shell.
