Devil
Tonight I wonder down the empty alleys of my past,
searching for where I lost myself along the way.
Among the shadows and darkness there it is, at last
is where my life turned to nothing but gray.
The demons whisper and taunt me as I move closer towards it,
Its eyes gleam with revenge and delight.
How could something so evil be so remitting,
and make me lose sight of what's wrong and what's right?
It once was my whole world and everything else was nothing but dust.
Now I look around me and wonder if I belong in this place,
and if I stay will my life be nothing but metal consumed with rust,
Or will things get better and my past be erased?
So I stare at him in disgust and disgrace
because I am not the one who's changed, it was him all along.
I might have broken promises but I belong in this place
and with that, I've done no wrong.
So I let go of him and erase him from that place in my heart.
Because I shall not scoop down to his level.
So from this day on I will make a new start
and always remember that the angel was actually the devil.
