Four-Fifths

I've been dancing with the devil

By Molly SmithPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

The taste is sweet

His touch is soothing

The smell is soft

His sound is harmony

But his sight is sour

I've been dancing with the devil

As beautiful as it is perceived

As graceful as I move

The disappointment rises

The conscious decision of my actions

The constant need for reassurance

He wraps his arms around me as I reach for comfort

Epiphanies glow in the darkness of his eyes

I've been dancing with the devil

In the facade of his arms

The happiness strengthens

His warmth cools

Finding peace within myself

Loving each sensation

I become my whole

sad poetry
