The Hidden Devil

The devil's here
Its brothers are
Sorrow and fear.
Hand in hand, they walk by.
You won't even notice
As your mind falls behind.

The devil hears
Every pound, every crack
As your heart breaks.
Right or left,
Bad or good,
He only sees your mistakes.

The devil sees
The inner demons
And thoughts you can't erase.
Foolish fantasies, broken dreams
Make them up to choke your peace.

The devil feels
Your sorrow, fear, and pain.
For him, it's a heavenly feast:
Honey, candy, chocolate piece.
While we're waiting
For the sweet release.

The devil's here,
Knows every word,
Every rhyme.
Of course, he knows
If you were the devil
All this time.
