I wrote this poem after a good friend lost her life to alcoholism

Dancing with The Devil

Plunged into the depths of despair,
The number one enemy is sadness,
Drawn to Lucifer’s nefarious lair,
Driving confusion to madness.

1/5

Where is the answer, where is it hiding?
What is wrong and what is right?
Are there two worlds colliding,
Dancing in the Devil’s delight?

2/5

Doom and gloom, death and damnation,
Sorrow beckons through the night,
Destruction, depravity; the Devil’s creation
Of Hell, who has left on the light.

3/5

From cruel dungeon into abyss,
Complete consumption is his goal,
Poisoned by the serpent’s kiss,
Determined to steal your soul.

4/5

Thrust into the jaws of death,
With bloodshot eyes and poisoned tongue,
With rotting flesh and rancid breath,
Life’s final lines of song are sung.
