sleeping with the devil

sleeping with the devil
Posted By: Shamika Edwards on March 19, 2010

at the bar alone with my drink
longing for the better part of companionship
i gaze at the others that mingle and magle around me
lust deeply coats the small atmosphere like a thick
cloud of smoke
inhaling the posionous fumes of Temptation and Sin
in the mist of the smokey room
at a far end table .. alone
a small candle flame flickers
i notice him ..


he sits alone just as i
there are others that surround him
yet still he remains alone
our eyes meet
his firey glow commands me
in an instant
i become high aswell
our bodies collide
we dance
and for that moment im no longer lonely
i feel a sense of greatness
of happiness
his body is as hot as lava
he inhales my sense of loneliness
caresses my bruised and battered heart
minds it almost
makes me feel loved
that im wanted
all the pain is no more
the problems seem to vanish
he motions for me to take his hand
hesitant
i comply
as we leave hand in hand
i dont care where we're going
he whispers something in my ear
but im too high to object
the good feeling
i nod
... blackness
i awake
alone in my bed
sense of loneliness
sense of pain
he is gone
my tears flow once more
i thirst for the high
once more
my soul is empty once more
my soul is no more
