The Devil's Due Poem by Linda Ori

The Devil's Due

Rating: 3.0


Did you sell your soul
For a sensual smile
On a younger model
With a wayward style
That makes you feel young again?

Does she make you tingle
Make you lose your mind
Make you think you're single
But she's not your kind -
There's a 20 year age gap!

So now your thinkin'
With your other head
Here she comes a winkin'
Might as well be dead
Because you will be soon

As the devil wants you
And you cannot run
Even though you want to
Now your life's undone
Was it worth the price you'll pay?

Did you sell your soul
For a few hot nights
With some clueless bimbo
Reality bites.........
Now there'll be hell to pay

'Cause the game is over
And your number's up
No more days of clover
Life's an empty cup...............
And the devil wants his due.
