The devil in your eyes.

I’ve seen the devil in your eyes.
Lovely and cruel
Sweet and vicious.

I’ve heard the devil in your voice.
Kind and cutting
Whispers and threats.

Your skin is taut with fire.
Touching you is like being singed—
Skin peels back inflamed
In pain.

You wrap around them like a boa.
Striking like a cobra
After the mesmerizing dance
Venom, fatal.

The glee pervades your defiant stance.
Unleashed control
Head back howling
Exacting revenge.

The prettiness is encased in ugliness.
No longer do those blue eyes glimmer.
Instead they shout obscenities
In meager tones.

You are a shell.
Vacant.
Wicked.
Empty.

God, please resurrect. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
