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
