There Is A Devil.

There is a devil in me that

ties me to your folly

there is an angel in me that

shows me how to love you.

When I am myself

I hate the devil

and the angel calms me down.

There is another man I do not know

and another ghost that tires me out

and an ugly face on whose advice I slide

that tells me not to bother.

But the baggage that I carry

becomes to heavy.

Then there is the one who is addicted

There is the one who is forlorn

There is me that never understood

and somehow begs to be reborn.
