"Devil Magnetism"

she came and whispered seductively in my ear

as a friend...... a lover of sorts....... and a partner in my latest crime

she said:

"you try and you toil.........but the pen tip has already dried-

it HAS been written.........and it SHALL be done
- so lets reset the clocks and have all the pendulums stop"

i stood dumbfounded and bemused as her words penetrated my being

and before i could say anything back, she asked me

"so who is she? was she all that?"

i replied stuttering:

" uhhh well yeah"

i was a friend when she needed one
heat when she needed some
and a shoulder to bleed on

a love forgiven
a dawn mistaken
a soul forsaken

"yeah that's what you were to her, but SHE who was SHE? "

she cant be alone
so she hunts and she swoons
with immaculate beauty and whats left of her charm

"so whats the attraction ?" some ask
"sympathy for the devil?"

i shrug....... i know.........but i wouldn't explain

"devil magnetism"
