The Devil Has A Child


The devil has a child,

She has eyes that are darkened from lack of faith.

Who's smile no longer reaches her eyes

She is afraid of heights from all of the times she fell for the wrong guy.

Who's mind is filled with dark spots.

She begs for dreams but receives nightmares

Who wonders why she was ever born.

She keeps her distance for fear of hurting someone 

Who struggles to keep her heart beating.

She has a daily battle with the demons in her mind

Who wonders if she'll even make it to 25,

She has let a boy kiss her lips and a razor kiss her wrist

Who doesn't know her sins aren't her fault.

The devil has a child

And the devil's child is me.
