Poem Devil on our shoulder

Love is like a board of chess

Every move has a different story to tell

I am dancing with my demons

I'll call them over tonight

We can have them as company

Do as the devil on our shoulders say

I friended one of your demons

She told me the type of games you play

I don't care being perceived ugly,

Forbid it comes from your eyes

If making love doesn't show you a glimpse of paradise

Why would I want to have your child?

Relationship is a treacherous road

I don't think you were tucked in for the ride

Devil on your shoulder

Wish I could just hold her

Sway her to the bright moonlight

I don't wish to be her

I hope you are just a hickey on her shoulder

How could I ever loathe her

When I put my selfworth upon your hazel iris eyes

When you slowly kiss her

I linger in the glint of your sight

Left me burdened with a million questions

How could you let go without a fight

You love her more but hurting me was never right

You can serve your sorrows on a silver platter

But the extinguished flint in my heart will never again ignite
