A Ballad for the Devil

Alcohol slides down your throat
Smoke stings your tearing eyes
Stagger to gain your drunken balance
Lost with nights of partying

Mom left long ago
Vanished, no where to be found
Left me in your cruel possession
Living a life with the devil

A satanic gleam in your eyes
Sadistic hands brush my skin
Am I nothing but owned property
To this earthly hell I'm in

Every night I'm locked away
Do you think I can escape
The fire burning at my back
A stare cold as ice

Women come and go
Like little children's toys
Once you've had your fun
You go an find another one

Similar to a wild animal
Caged in a dark room
Deprived of food and water
Anger grows stronger

Dad you are the devil
Who has traped me in this house
A personal hell for you to rule
When will your reign die out

    yeah well, that is what you get for doing that kind of thing...but then again that sounds like everyone between 14 and 30 I know...eh well, they're all going to hell [including me, it seems ]

    You've got a typo in the first line of the fifth stanza. That being said, for a poem that doesn't rhyme I really like this. Your imagery of an earthly hell is just fabulous. I'm glad this isn't about you or a friend; that would just be terrible.

    Thanks for entering my contest!
