A Fiend In Need - Is A Fiend Indeed

As the young girl hurried home,
upon a bleak mid-winters night,
a demon stepped from the shadows
into the moons pale light
It regarded her with fiery eyes.
It hissed and snapped its jaws.
It spread its blood red, leathery wings
and clicked its deadly claws.
The demon hopped towards her.
She smelt its putrid breath.
The girl stood still and waited
for the moment of her death.
But the moment never came,
in fact the demon smiled
I mean no harm? ( it rumbled )
I would not hurt you child!?
The demon knelt before her
and to the girls surprise
it recounted such a tale of woe
as tears fell from its eyes.
I was human once? ( it said )
But by a warlocks spell
Im cursed to wear this body
and to spend my days in hell.?
But youre the key? (the demon said)
to all which I desire
a lock of hair, freely given,
is all that I require.?
Then shall this curse be lifted
and I shall be set free,
with my heart, my soul and body
the way they used to be.?
The young girl was so saddened
that, for its lost souls sake,
she held out a lock of golden hair
for the demon beast to take.
It cut the hair with a razor claw
and it was O so gently placed
among a hundred other locks of hair
in a pouch about its waist.
But even as it thanked her
the young girl grew concerned
For the demons gentle manner changed
and its evil face returned.
I said I wouldnt hurt you?,
said the demon with a sigh
But I have a demons nature
and Demons ALWAYS lie.?
You see the lock of hair you gave
has no magic lest youre dead.?
And with that the deceitful demon
bit off the young girls head.
And as the demon flew away
it was still consumed with hate
But there were many lonely girls to find
and sad tales to relate.
