"Snare"

By Wingless

The copious devil invited me to the underworld for a while. As he bargained for the token of my soul with a fickle smile. He spoke in rhymes and riddles that I could not comprehend. So I asked what could be done, so I did not meet my end. "I drugged and dragged your mental state, to this haunted lair. It is an insult to try and outwit me, so I simply wouldn't dare. Bring forth attack to escape this realm?, there really is no need. Because I'm truly heartless, I therefore do not bleed. I can offer an elixir, to mimic joy, but really numb. I like to sit back and watch the madness you become. It'll taste good I promise! You're tempted I can see? Come on! Let it seduce you! Why don't you dance with me? I love to lead astray, in this world it's what I do. I'm parallel to the angel that also sits with you." Although I feel weakness, my mind is very much alive. I must make a decision, and somehow manage to survive. Could I give him my clarity in exchange for an escape? Although once my mind is savaged there is not much left to take. my temple of a body, or my gemstone eyes. mere jewels for him to play with or to use as a disguise. To walk among normality and whisper in my ear. "Do you bad things young lady, you have nothing left to fear."
