Devil

479

There is a little devil in all of us.

i had plenty to say, i had to plenty to talk,
words that once came gushing out,
words that just wouldn’t let this mouth close,
now merely disappeared out of trace;

i tried searching it in the bank,
if i had mistakenly deposited it there,
i tried looking into my piggy bank,
if i playfully put it inside;

i searched high and
i searched low,
somehow, i couldn’t find them all;

after a long and hard night,
that left me in disarray,
i woke up to find them,
strewn all over the place;

little bit there, little bit here,
some near, some far;

i wondered, how is it possible,
what i said so far, is what i said,
what i said, is what i mean;

maybe its the devil, that’s playing a game,
maybe its the devil, inside me,
hidden behind these little black clouds;

have i let loose the devil that once hibernated inside me,
plenty of words, plenty of talk,
replaced by the one , that once was me,
once i was the devil;
