The Devil

By horrorchantenshi

I am the Devil
I can see in your soul
I am the shadows of the night
the empty to your full.

I feed off your tears
and your fear and your hate.
I am the monster beneath your bed
to meet you when your late.

I am your worst nightmare
that lurks in your dreams.
I am the blood on your finger
and the tears in your seams.

I am the sick to your healthy,
and the broken to your break.
I am the poor to your wealthy
and the last breath you take.
