Romancing the devil

Playing with the flames as I walk on hot coals
I am romancing the Devil
I am calling him to me

The creatures of the night flee at his sight
The eerie calm running chills down my spine

I see sparks streaming across the sky
An admonition of sorts that I cannot ignore
I plunge further into the darkness, oh I wonder why
A pain searing through my chest, going to my core

‘Walk on silly child’, I reprimand myself
‘You have no place but here to call home’

A sense of no return drifts through me
I don’t see him but feel him caressing me

I embrace the cold, I embrace the darkness
I embrace its curse in utter duress
I am romancing the Devil
The Devil inside me.
