So I’m not alone in this bitter land
And I’ll keep my eyes squeezed shut until they tear
Well that ship set sail and I’m left on the sand
With the best laid plans of mice and men
And I screamed my throat raw from all that fear

The devil smiles as the wicked roam
And casts his shadow on all I’ve known
But I’m too drunk on life to even care
Well the sun has set in a rosy gloam
It followed its path to its lonely home
And I’d burn my soul if I could get back there

The devil's stare will rip right through
It shreds your being and all too soon
I came to look at death between the eyes
Well I knew I'd lost and had naught to do
So I gave him my tatters, the devil's due
And let him myself burn in eternal fires. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 73 [informant] => jimmato [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

Devil's Due

And I’ll keep my eyes squeezed shut until they tear
Well that ship set sail and I’m left on the sand

And casts his shadow on all I’ve known
But I’m too drunk on life to even care
Well the sun has set in a rosy gloam
It followed its path to its lonely home
And I’d burn my soul if I could get back there

The devil's stare will rip right through

Well I knew I'd lost and had naught to do
So I gave him my tatters, the devil's due
And let him myself burn in eternal fires.

Loving the imagery in this write! Quite the tale, and packed with emotion. The flow was steady, the rhyming slightly off here and there, but overall it works, and I enjoyed it very much!! Nice twist at the end too by the way...
