I’m Coming For You

Devil squats on my shoulder

          As his eyes pried into my darkness

          he shouted, “from me, came you!”

          acid rain voice shredded my flesh

         from my bones, blood trickles

         unwashed tears terrorizing my mind.

"Beware my snares in the dark," devil chants.

        "I’m coming for you

         you will soar no more

         I’ll manipulate your mind

         and snare your soul.”

         His crucifix shouted, “six, six, six!”

Devil in brine, dips wetly in mine

         wanting to plant his devilish seed

         eaten raw, he consumed my love

         speaking in unknown tongues

         a summons to hell before

         making landfall on devil wings.

Devil’s shadow blocks my light

         invasion of bully into my brain

         circle of fog around his head

        “Come with me to Hellfire realm!”

         instilling black thoughts and red blotches.

Upon my back, he snapped his whip

        “I’m your sugar Daddy, open your legs!”

         He rode my soul, tearing my life.

         Lungful of lies poisoning the breezes

         ravenous teeth leaving road map

         upon torn and screaming flesh.

I close my eyes and tell myself over and over

         He only exists within your head

         His fantasies should not be fed

         I am not the devil and he is not I

         I’ll fight darkness and will not die!
