TOUCHOFTHEDEVIL


they say you have the touch of 

the devil

and i should have stayed away

but instead i fell into your embrace

hoping

i would find heavan

but instead i found hell within your eyes

i became engulfed in flames that

burned my body

the smoke tore up my lungs

my heart exploded

not from love but the lack of

so i turned my ashes into a fire of my own

and i will watch your world burn
