Childish Devil

As a child I was so naive.

I couldn't see the harm, or the devil enticing me.

His words dripped like venom, but his lips tasted sweet,

A charmer indeed he was, our story bittersweet.

He ignored the cracking of my heart, as I plunged his knife further,

Addicted to his toxins, I begged with such fervor.

It was my fault, and his, that we gave into the fire.

I, a songbird, and he, an evil choir.

Rose colored glasses, obscured my view, but once they were removed...

Me and my naivety fell through.

He was a bandit. 

And he stole my heart,

But now I'll turn my pain into art.
