As the Devil Does

Baylee

He follows me

I see glimpses of him

in the moments I hate him most

 

He is inscribed within

the red spots of my vision

after the ringing in my ears has ceased

 

The blue zap of anesthesia

as the fingers of my darling

brush against my cheek

I pretend that I can feel

his love pressed against my lips

 

But as reality dawns

he follows me

as the devil does

whispering sweet suicidal thoughts

into my listening ear.
