Everyman Before He Dies
Everyman
before he dies,
Shall see his own devil, it is said.
Who knows about that,
For I have not been dead.
All
I know is that I live with my devils.
They walk with me and talk with me
And they hold my hand.
They sing to me, both haunting and tormenting;
And I let them push me as far as they can.
My
devils lovingly provide what
Little comfort there is to be had
When they shake me, and take me,
And make love to me.
For a devil’s honest kiss, is
So much better than lover’s lying one.
Everyman
may see his own devil
Before he dies.
But I am constantly graced by mine
On each and everyday.
And within the dark of each and every night.
I am forever blessed by the smallest
Of their attentions;
However unpleasant it may be, they
Shower me with devilish gifts.
And
you? It would take so little from you
To cause me to cry in delight.
It would take so little from you to
Turn me away
From devil’s play.
But, alas, the devils that take me
Are so much kinder than thee;
For I know that
They have never, never, never...
They have never lied to me.
