Writing Kick Wednesday! : The Devil is My True Love by Ashley Correa


*Writing Kick Wednesday! is where you a writing piece of yours of someone you admire, the meme is hosted by The Tattered Page*

Hey Bookies!

Below is a poem I write last years after a significant separation from someone I used to know. And for this Writing Kick Wednesday, I thought I would share it with you guys:

The Devil hated me with such depth-less, fiery, passion

He convinced me it was True Love

With Unbreakable Adoration for Him and Unparalleled Encouragement, I stood by and watched while The Devil ravaged and feasted on my life to ruin

And I Utterly, Undoubtedly Loved The Devil for it

With pathetic efforts, feeble attempts, I pretended to Deny it

For 1 year I danced with The Devil with such Delicate Trust, such Blinded Loyalty, such Carnal Need, such Soaring Reverence

Danced and danced and danced

Danced until my feet splintered off and became sharp bleeding infected stumps

Danced with a radiant smile on my face while my skin and muscles melted off as He burned me alive

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

The Devil SoSoSo Thoroughly Destroyed my Entire World without so much as a second thought, without a backward glance

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

The Devil's Searing Caresses, my Life's Blood

The Devil's Flaying Licks, my Unrivaled Strength

The Devil's Corrosive Kisses, my Reason for Existence

The Devil's Perpetual Lingering Scent, my Other Half

The Devil's Wretched Arousal, my Saving Grace

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

Grasping His acid skinned hand, I clung to The Devil for dear life as He led me to Paradise Everlasting

Only stumbling for a few steps, I made a Mad Dash alongside Him

Surging forward by His sweet terrible nothings

With His sinfully delicious coaxing I ripped my pulsing heart out of my chest and presented it to The Devil on the most gloriously polished silver platter

ThumpThumpThump

My hemorrhaging, dying heart beating solely for The Devil

Its Solitary Purpose

Godly Fate

Written in Holy Script across the Immeasurable Brilliant Stars

ThumpThumpThump

The Devil clenched it in hand, black talons piercing the beating crimson mass

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThumpThump

Paradise Everlasting on the horizon, we ran and ran and ran

Ran until there was nothing left of me

Stripped of everything

An unclaimed decaying corpse

A scavenged unidentified skeleton

A dead worthless unloved void

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThumpThump

With my last burst of life I charged for Paradise Everlasting with The Devil riding my broken neck

Charged and charged and charged

Throwing his veering horned head back, The Devil cackled

Then leaned in to murmur vows of Relentless Devotion and Steadfast Loyalty in my ear as He whipped my back raw to the bone with His leather whip of exquisitely deceitful words

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThumpThump

We arrived at the threshold of Paradise Everlasting

The Devil's glamour fell from its flimsy, rotten hinges

A Wasteland of Insurmountable Misery watered by molten sands of

Lost Hopes

Stolen Dreams

Smashed Promises

And Chucked Sucked Dried Lovers

With such savored delight The Devil shoved me forward

Over the line of no return

Trapped in the Wasteland

All Alone and Less Than Nothing

Beside The Devil stood Her

From his broken past

The One

His One who ate him alive

His One who vomited him back up with utter black disgust

His One who spat on him as he crumbled to an Universe of irreparable pieces

Returning for The Devil

To reclaim The Devil whose shattered pieces I mending  back together with the most Intimate, Purest parts of me as glue

Beside The Devil stood Her

The One who held his heart first

His One

Who Always held his heart while the devil handed me a Diseased, Contagious, Flesh Eating placebo for safekeeping

She held his True Heart and the devil was Insane with such Untamable Glee and Ferocious Devotion as his Perfect Immortal Heart stitched back together with every inch of My Soul beats solely for Her

His One

On my severed festering knees I watched them

Watched as the devil bowed down on all fours to Her

As the devil groveled and worshipped at Her feet

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThumpThump

My heart ThumpsThumpsThumps in the devil's clenched hand, black talons piercing the beating crimson mass

As The Ultimate Sacrifice to Her, the devil offers my hemorrhaging, dying heart, beating solely for him, on a bed of poisoned thorns

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThumpThump

Rising to his hind legs he lifted his hoofed feet and danced on my hemorrhaging, dying heart, beating solely for him

Crushing it, grounding it into the dirt, nothing more than dust already long forgotten

For Her

The devil's True Queen

The devil's One and Only

The devil's Most Irrevocable Flawless Match

Through and Through

Trapped in the Insatiable Wasteland on my severed festering knees to Forever Witness their Unwavering Bliss
I watched on as the devil carried Her, his Divine Idol, in his protective, unyielding arms

Through a parade of Unfaltering Worship, Unquenchable Yearning, Tender Affection, Sacred Love

Forevermore fueled by his Very Essence to Paradise Everlasting

She

Her

His Most Precious and Cherished

And

Still


Still

Still

Still, I was convinced The Devil was my True Love

ThumpThump . . .
