Crouching by the Window
Dark and still in the middle of the night.
In moonlit shadows a dark stranger hides.
Outside my window he crouches and waits.
Feelings of evil gnaw at my insides.
I know he’s there. He thinks he’s concealed.
He patiently takes his time to appear.
This stranger awaits for the right moment.
Patiently for drought of life so severe.
Open the Window he kindly requests.
“Let me in for we all know your sins”
“Will I go to hell if I give into you?”
This evil fellow just smirks he then grins.
He knows of all my selfish desires.
All the wares he offers can I resist?
Shows me all about carnal knowledge.
Displays beautiful women never I kissed.
Not only lust, but drugs and money.
He offers me the world if I agree
To follow him from which he came.
He lays it all out before me sinfully.
My eyes open wide to lustiness
Selfishness, cruelty, and pride.
It all looks so good in an evil way.
I stand naked before him nothing to hide.
Be damned all the Have Nots, idealists,
The church going do gooders too.
Why shouldn’t I get what I want?
Is making love to your cousin taboo?
This dude in the black leather jacket
Says anything I want I can get.
Morals are not the absolute truth.
He says, at the end I’ll have no regret.
Opened the window, I let it all in.
Don’t I deserve to have my fling?
This was the path I wanted to take.
To Hell with what tomorrow will bring.
Tomorrow has come quicker than thought
Up to the bar to pay what’s past due.
Denied some sweet nectar, one last sip.
Anybody would have done the same, would you?
Blazing inferno, demoness torture
My eternity of agony and pain
Some night I'll be outside your window.
Will you let me in giving Satan his reign?
