me and the devil, walking side by side

 

Another day another night

The devil came to me and knocked on my door

He gently touched my face. 

He asked me if I was okay, he asked me if I needed a hug. 

He hugged me with warmth and love

I was crying like a child, like a child 

I was on my knee, looked directly at his eyes and asked

"Can you please not leave me?

So many people have left, or I have pushed them away

There was you and only you, I want you to stay with me, taste me, bite me, consume me, swallow me until I could not identify which one is you and me no more." 

He didn't answer a single word

Silence 

I have never felt more understood my entire life. 

The following day I woke up

I could not feel any pain 

It was like a weak part of me had left 

The devil had internalized inside me 

The devil's name had been tattooed in my heart

So every where I go

I can only see his face, his beautiful face 

I can only hear his voice, his intoxicating voice. 

Nothing matters 

Nothing makes me feel anything

Me and the devil

Walking side by side 

Me and the devil

We had internalized 

Me and the devil

The devil and me.
