The Devil

Dark Wedding

By Kat GarciaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I’m dancing with reflections of the shadows.

Depression hides within,

Captivating all that matters.

The devil’s got a black suit,

And he’s waiting at the altar.

Red rose in his hand,

I’m crying but I’m flattered.

Anxiety’s got a hold of my arm,

As we’re walking down the aisle.

I got a million thoughts,

As I cry but also smile.

It’s a numbing feeling,

That tends to last quite a while.

It’s something that I’m used to

While all my feelings reconcile.

My nightmares stand beside me

As I hand them my flowers.

Playing flashbacks in my head

Of my life’s most painful hours.

Reminding me how weak I am,

And that I will always be a coward.

As I let them haunt my dreams,

So many sleepless nights devoured.

I turn back around

And look the devil in the eyes.

The more I look within

And the more I analyze,

I notice that sick smile

And all the things I despise,

As he slowly starts to morph

Into a painful surprise.

My heart shatters at the truth,

I’ve been the devil in the disguise.
