His face, you'd never seen before.
He promised you riches galore.
He told you there was so much more.
He took your hand; you pulled away.
"What more is it I have to say?"
the devil asked in grave dismay.
"Just promise me: this time she'll stay,"
you answered and the devil nodded
and the blood in your veins clotted
and your stomach, it knotted;
for, in hell, you'll be surely be poked and prodded.
But your deal is done.
You're eternity's begun;
and you don't bother to run.
You're the devil's new son.
You shut the door and turn inside;
it's there you find your blushing bride.
In vows, your hearts are mortally tied.
"'Til death do us part,' heavily on your mind.
You'll lament on how this deal never expires.
You wonder if she'll miss you when the fires
sneak in between the saints and the liars.
But you know it's worth it just to lay beside her.

[Though "Reaper" appears in my acknowledgement here for mostly comical purposes, this really was a great show and it's on Netflix Instant, so you might want to check it out. RIP, "Reaper."]
