The Devil I Know

The eyes blazed with fire bright 
Hair black as space unknown 
Skin smooth like satin touch
In seductive voices she lets her scriptures flow
And that’s the devil I know 
Better the devil I know 
Blood warm lips that taste like wine 
Long tapered fingers that entwine 
My soul for her to keep 
That’s the devil I know 
Better the devil I know 
Her chest heaves in play 
As she makes my body sway 
Her grey hound thin waist 
Delight my tastes with the slightest brush
Curved like a scimitar blade
Her back ripples like dragon scales 
With unholy grace such that’s only seen to be believed
She wraps her legs around me 
Her scent of passion surrounds me 
All I can do is try to breathe
Spent and wasted I lie 
Next to the devil I know 
Better the devil I know 
I wake in days to hide 
My nights spent to cry 
Hoping, wishing, dying 
Yearning her return
Better the devil I know
That’s the devil I used to know
