Soul Not For Taking

The devil came to visit late one night.

came Whispering offers of fortune- teĺling lies.

Working inside troubled minds.

The price in exchange for most the soul and a shortened life.

Forever in smoke a risky price to pay, gambling away your very existence for all eternity is no fun a game to play.

The devil said with a wink, " I can give you all you ever wished for"

leaving out the details of risk in small fine print, along with a missing signature the contract awaits its next poor victim.

"Your dreams you can have them," followed quickly with a sly grin and winse.

"its you, I want he said under his breath"

"What do you say, my friend?"

Hearing a sound within the enviroments background this sorry soul snapped from the trance of which it blindly was lead to dance had been saved by grace

how long and for how it fell for the tricks of the devil only the survivors can ever live to tell.

Pulled fast away from the hand which might have been sealed to fate unto eternal hell and damnation.

No deal was ever made with the devil that day, he comes in many forms shapes even as a shadow and is present all around.

looks exactly like you and me and other disguises and offers the world which isn't his to give, the devils real you just haven"t met him yet,

he's a great manipulator and an even bigger liar. his days are numbered cause he works in the weak until it becomes strong and flees to vanish on to the next unsuspecting fragile person.
