Write a story or poem that could be titled 'Talking with the Devil'

Talking with The Devil

Touching the cold screen, as if it was your body,

Emoticons and chat rooms bring shivers down my spine.

Your message - my salvation, but what is left to save?


Your words, honey on my tongue, balm on my soul

when we virtually kiss, the little nothings

become my universe.

And then, without a warning, when you pour venom

all over my world, bold statements

become pleadings.


To idolize a promise, my mind adores deceiving

this stupid heart of mine

so reckless and absurd!

Are you the same as yesterday, ‘cause I don’t know myself…

It’s yours the faceless voice, seducing me into blindness?


Ghostwriter of my life, the screen is mute and lifeless.

I was alone in this…the Devil is my lover…

And I’m a broken wretch.
