The Devil's Here

By xPainfulTears

We're all better off dead, you know?
The Devil's here.

Where are you, "Savior?"
Show yourself.

Darkness...pain...
Where is the beautiful light?

I know we're all sinners, but God dammit, I want some answers!

If you loved me so, why did you allow the Devil to put me through so much pain?
If you loved me so, why did you allow the Devil to give my husband cancer?
If you loved me so, why didn't you allow me happiness?

I know...
Don't question the Lord...

... but why?
Why was I forsaken to such an unhappy life?

You know what though?
I still love you...
and I will continue to stand by you.
Forgive me for my doubt and know that the Devil puts these thoughts in me.

It's all the Devil at work...
right?

Fight for me,
and I will do the same in return...
No matter what the Devil does,
I fight for you.
