Dance with the devil

He remembered dancing with her for the 1st time thinking, how this time just felt right

He didn’t even consider letting her go, he’d never held someone so tight

He’d never been more convinced of anything in his life

This was the 1 who’d existed in his thoughts & lived in his dreams each night

He found comfort in just watching her breathe

Her heartbeat was the rhythm to their Tango, she felt comfortable letting him take the lead

She felt serenity in his arms, for in them was security

His hands, his touch, he represented everything she wanted her future to be

But there was an intruder in their vicinity

Standing in between her & him was an unrelenting enemy

Her intensity & passion for him was in direct conflict with the devil in her midst

He found it difficult to match the embrace of the devil’s grip

She slipped away any moment she could, just to feel the devil’s kiss

For this was a feeling he couldn’t provide, an obsession she couldn’t resist

It kept her awake at night

The sensation allowed her to feel adventurous & experience new heights

Every night he prayed, because giving up on her is something he’d never consider

But every moment she strayed, a little piece of his soul went with her

Her fascination with the devil overruled her love for him

And he’s realizing he’s fighting a battle that may be impossible to win

That embrace he once longed for, is now only obtainable in his dreams

That touch he felt could’ve only come from God, is no longer what it seems

He remembered dancing with her for the last time thinking, “how could this happen to me?”

For his angel now dances with the devil & their love will never be
