Summary:
Late night musing. Just thinking out loud basically on this one. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

Talk is cheap when it’s bathed in lies

Consuming sin like it’s a physical need

Promises are risky between taut thighs

Signing over the goods to plant a seed

 

Asleep at the wheel and losing ground

Temptation takes a soul when convenient 

Waiting for old Scratch to come around

Read the fine print his terms aren’t lenient

 

Once darkness takes root inside frail veins

Robbing the light where love’s glow resides

Misery wraps emotion in tormented chains

With a bitter pill of false content life abides

    1. Im probably well off track with this one, but this is where it took me. Feel free to shove me off the track if I’m wrong. It brings to mind corruption & how weaker minds believe what they want to hear because it benefits them in some way. Thing about greed & corruption is it’s a disease that needs constant feeding. It grows on itself until it becomes a monster. But they don’t see the monster until it’s too late. The fine print is always key, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. No, you’re pretty spot on. A lot of my writes have multiple possibilities, I’m not always loyal to a subject, like my brain it’s a lot of moving parts. lol. My whole life, I’ve been told I’m multifaceted, I didn’t always see it myself. But after years of being told, I see it more over time. It is always in the fine print, and is always key. Appreciate you.
