Walking with the Devil

“I’ve never claimed to be a good boy
That lad is long dead
‘Cause I got stuck in the wars, Grace
Ones with bullets
And ones in my head”

Karliene “Walk with the Devil”

I used to walk with the Devil
Very eagerly
I’d say
Even earnestly
I thought he was a smashing 
Companion
Always quick
To pick you up
When life seemed 
To be a drag
Always there
To get you out
Of your own misery
And light up
Your eyes
With his infernal fire
So, you could feel
Eternal
At least
For a while
And then he brought desire
To be sure
His presence is always
Assured
Of course
If you needed it
And of course
You needed it
More
And
More
And
…
Eighteen years ago
(Almost to a day)
He walked me
Through a door
Which opens 
Only one way
And the guy
In white
Who was there
Gave me
Blue and red tablets
And told me
To take them both
In case it is not 
A Matrix
That’s
How it all started

Do you really
Think
He is 
The Best
Of your 
Friends?
