The Tears of Our Weeping Devil

In my slumber, the devil spoke to me

In my ears, he sang our melody 

You were the tune, I was the rhymes 

You were the stars, I was the night’s chimes

We shared a devil, his eyes allured with drops of rain 

Flooding our gates with a catastrophe of sadness– illness 

I wished to be one of Gog and Magog

To drink away the flood soaking the edges of your gown 

Sewed with garments of delicacy 

Yet the flood arose between the words of you and me  

It left us at a crossroads, we parted ways 

You chose to flee with the antidote to our demise

Leaving me with the venom of our love

So I ask of you, take me back to the gates we once built

So I could dry out the tears of our weeping devil
