Sense Sonnet - Acher

 I Know the Devil

I know the devil all too well,

When I made pleasure as my goal,

So let my life just go to hell,

To please my body, sold my soul.

I know the devil tricked and lied

To me with promises he gave,

Filling me up with lust and pride,

And now I be the devil's slave.

I know the devil won't let me

Get out of my bargain with him,

To owe him for eternity,

Just because of one stupid whim.

With the devil I have to live.

God, when I die, will you forgive?
