The Devil's Promise

by Lemon

Have you ever loved someone so much
That you'd do anything for them?
When my heart took to pacing these cold, stone corridors
The day I lost you
I knew I'd do anything
Literally anything

To save you
So I gave up
Myself

Now you walk free
Whilst I am in manacles
Shackled
Chained to a place between existence and nothingness
A puppet for the man downstairs
Kept away from the sun
Every day is torture, yet somehow
This suffering is worth it, knowing you have another chance at life
Whatever hardship I must bear,
The Devil kept his promise
