The happy devil smiles

NEPIEGE

 

 

Imagine looking in the eyes of your beloved

Swooned and moved like no other

With eyes that seem almost bottomless

Almost like staring into the darkness

This feeling then consumes you

Holds, and then pursues true

You begin to lose all sorts of rationality

Envisioning all of the things those eyes could make you do

 

At first you begin to fear

Praying that no one comes near

Scared of the things you’ve found yourself capable of

Wishing, there is no devil’s knock

But by the cruel twist known as fate

You have found yourself engulfed by hate

Funny enough your anger is directed at the mind

The true you, that you’re scared to find

Engrossed by what is known as comfort

The smile comes out to avoid hurt

You want to explore without pain

See the world in all its’ vain

 

Due to this contest known as life

We are forced to live and thrown to die

After the mind has been conditioned by war

The instinct for survival comes ashore

 

We then begin to bury our true nature

Scared that the new connections we make will hate us

We tell ourselves lies, to lure in false comfort

All to hold it by the neck and cut it wide open

 

Only when one’s foul nature is truly satisfied

Then and only then the happy devil smiles
