Write a story or poem that could be titled 'Talking with the Devil'

He Pretended

He opened up the window

And I opened up my heart

He handed me a cigar

And I smiled in the dark


I pretended to ignore him

He pretended that he cared

He said I wasn’t shy or stupid

I said I wasn’t scared


My reality was dark and grim

But with him there was this light

I was drawn to him, moth to candle

Held in everlasting night


Nothing helped, I wasn’t sane

My heart and mind weren’t level -

It’s hard not to second guess yourself

When you’re talking with the devil
