I said Goodbye
to the Devil
Though I was
Very shy
I turned around
and walked away
Didn't look him
in the eye
I'd spent months
making my case
Playing the cards
at hand
Proving my loyalty
showing my worth
In hopes that he'd
be my man
Took me a while
But soon I realized
The game but the
Joke was on me
All of the things
I'd wanted from him
was simply
my own fantasy
I said Goodbye
to the Devil
Gathered my courage
And walked away
Full of his empty words
and treating me mean
Sick of his selfish heart
His soul unclean
Tired of the promises
he didn't keep
and the places
we didn't meet
or the hiding behind
night sky
or how in the
daylight
he'd turn a
blind eye
And I like a toy
was played and used
tossed, forgotten
broken and abused
Russian roulette
lover I'd become
Then one day
I was finally done
Over the waiting
And hoping against
hope that
one day...
He'd love me
I Said Goodbye
to the Devil
He Never knew
When I was gone
Sometimes
I see him
in my dreams
but this time
my heart is Done
