Fight the Devil

Coffee Mugg

Deep depression has set in,
I do not know why.
Rip out my heart,
It is no longer needed.

Into the darkness, the depths of no return, a place no man should venture, but I go. Is it my fate, my destiny, my one way street to hell, fight the Devil, not strong enough. I am being taken, but not against my will, for is where I belong, to be forever. Love has abandoned my soul, reach not lest you dare, for the confines of the depths will swallow us both. No reprieve for my crimes, wanting to love, to be loved, to be wanted. Undulated with the rhythm of remorse, captured in a sea of anguish, to never be again, no rebound. A struggle against time no more, subversion to his power a useless feat, undertaken like an undertow, the strongest wave of his hand. I yield to his authority,
