When Devils Cry
June 24th, 2006
I heard a shot of a gun or was it a cry of a loved one
I wonder why it got so dark while I still see the sun
I see faces pass me by but never look me in the eye
I hear voices close by, blend of grief, tears & sighs
I hear the voice of my son. Oh, he’s still so young
I hear him cry, I hear him call my name
I try to answer. I try to scream
But something got a hold on me & got a hold on my tongue
Prayers echo in a blast. Angels come in a flash
I just beg in tears & weep. Help me get on my feet
I feel my hands get cold & my legs get numb
I must be dying but my heart refuses to yield
Never believed in angels, never seen one for real
Until we first met & the devil in me cried: Let it be me!
The devil kneeled to his angel & became a human being
Surrendered to his God then grieved over Adam & Eve
Our love was bigger than life & bloomed across the sea
I challenged all men for who can be happier than me
I took our love forever then to be reunited in ecstasy
Still against the will of God this love isn’t meant to be
I used to roam over earth & rule over mankind
Now I became so fragile that I cry & breakdown
So vulnerable that everyday I want to commit suicide
So much in love, I believed in God but worship thee
Don’t leave me alone with a heart implanted in me
Either kill me or bring your love back to me
If you don’t… I’ll kill myself just to make you weep
And this will be my last poem in my book of history
